Emirates Brisbane lounge opens, VFF---EY Flight getting a Chauffeur, Selecting seat?

[PLANT]

Hi all,

Cannot see time Emirates Business Lounge opens in Brisbane? 0500 flight QF Business lounge is closed.
Concerning the Virgin\Etihad Chauffeur I was told on the phone to VFF that not available on EY flight booked via VFF? Nothing on website and will call....but has anyone had success?
Neither allow seat selection....yet?

Regards

Just an update.....
Was able to book seats and chauffeur with QFF Emirates info supplied ie. booking reference after checking SeatGuru.
Rang Virgin and then rang Etihad to book seats via phone as unable to online?
Given required info....Virgin website, experience, Limo transfer and able to book pickup and drop off.....
Rang Emirates and Brisbane Business lounge opens at 0200hrs, is it worth going in before flight being 0500hrs flight?

EK BNE Lounge opens 3 hours prior to any scheduled departure.

EK have 3 flights ex BNE daily:
EK433 to SIN at 02:30
EK434 to AKL at 08:25
EK435 to DXB at 20:45

Not sure why you are asking if it opens at 05:00, but shouldn't be too far off opening at 05:00 for EK434 to Auckland.

However I have a theory it opens for EK435 around 17:30 and remains open until 8:25 following day for anyone who is transiting, but yet to confirm it.

What is your EK flight number that you are flying on, and what date?

Can you use the EK lounge in Brisbane if flying QF (ticket and metal)

Yes - but in BNE with the long walk down to gate 75 for the EK lounge, only to walk back and down the other wing of the International Airport to board a QF flight combined with the very limited opportunity - if any at all - that the EK lounge is open while you are in the normal 2-3 hour window prior to a QF flight departing - which most depart around noon - it is a rare event QF fliers use the EK lounge unless flying on EK metal.
