Dubai lounge access when booking via qantas rewards

[AMc2026]

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently booked a business class flight with Emirates from Dubai to Brisbane via qantas rewards. I wanted to know if we will have access to the business lounge (we have a 10 hour layover after one of our flights were changed). I can’t find much on online however when chatting with emirates, they have said no.
Thanks!

Thank you! When I chatted with Emirates they said we were eligible but I cannot find anything online specific about qantas reward bookings or that was have a “special” business fare on our booking confirmation

Classic reward bookings come with lounge access.

The only business fares that don't are Business Special cash fares.

Would they not put you in a hotel?
