Recent Adelaide-Dubai-Milan and return in J on an EK flight as a Qantas codeshare. Got acknowledgement on most, if not all legs, (it's a bit of a blur sorry), as did SWMBO, who is a SG. But I can take that or leave it. Were given express passes.
Got access to First lounge(s) in Dubai, over and above the Business lounge(s) access that would have come with the ticket class. I deliberately say loungeS there....as I went on a big tour and visited 7 lounges: three (Emirates) First Lounges, three (Emirates) Business Lounges and a Diners Lounge. There was no problem with access. All very quick and easy and with a smile. The Emirates CSO signed the back of the boarding card each time and towards the end I was getting even bigger smiles as they worked out what was going on.
As a small aside the Milan (MXP) lounge is very nice as well, uncrowded at the time, and with direct access to the plane.
I'm off to continue searching to see if anyone else has done such a lounge tour of DXB. If not I'll write it up somewhere
