Sorry, I sound a bit clueless.
Any advice would be appreciated..we travel from SYD-LGW next week.

Welcome to FT and the EK Forum!

At just about every airport Emirates operate from, there are dedicated check-in counters for Business and First Class (as well as Gold Skywards members). The reason to always use these counters is to avoid the long economy non-status queue.

They should be clearly marked with an entry banner or sign above the counter.

As far as I'm concerned, one of the biggest benefits of status with any airline is to be able to use a dedicated check in area as I hate queues.
