Thanks for the replies guys. This was a last minute booking as i have been trying to get away with AF since last Thursday, but with all the snow i have not been able to get away and now have been trying for 3 days to get through to them to get a refund, their customer services is in meltdown.

When i made the booking i booked the Marhaba Lounge but after finding out i could upgrade i cancelled it as the guy on the phone at Emirates said i could use the lounge in Dubai, looks like that was a bad desicion on my part .
