Small correction here. Both Golds and Silvers are, according to the published benefits, allowed to use the Business Class check in counters. However:
1. At most airports EK have a separate queue for Business and a separate queue for Gold/ Silver. You are then expected to use only the Gold/ Silver queue, however would be called to the Business (or even First) queue if it is empty.
2. At DXB, there is a separate check in area for Skywards Silver in the main terminal area (as you enter, on the right). Gold members may use the Business class counters in the F/J check in area.
Note also that there is usually a separate queue for those who have done online check in to drop their bags.
