My wife didn't even want to fly with me on Emirates no more, because she thought we cannot stay together at the airport and we might get lost. Now she finally get silver card and I got my gold card, still she cannot get into the lounge with me and of course, this also counts for instant upgrades to first class and business class.
Is it something like a middle-east culture not to treat a wife, a life-partner, with respect?
No, our culture always specifies to treat women with utmost respect and uphold their dignity. I see you just try to blame others in this post and others for your shortfall but I'll give you the SAME suggestions others gave you in this thread and the other one:
1) If you want your wife to join you cough up a J ticket for her. The rules (even though changed often) dictate only Y golds allowed in. If you want to bring someone buy/use your miles to upgrade them to a J/F ticket and get yourself in on your Gold card. They don't "owe" your family/friends a lounge invite
2) Why would a company let wives into a lounge for the sake of being wives???!!! Looks like your the one who is differentiating between women and disrespecting unmarried ones maybe?
3) As stated in your other posts, give up your seat for your family and let them sit in the lounge, seems to me your a bit selfish and "light" around the edges that you can't handle a transit outside a lounge.
4) Next time you point fingers at other cultures, I hope your more informed. I don't think any culture in this world wants to see a couple segregated over something as silly as lounge access, lets not forget you have a flight which in most cases amounts to more time spent together than your time on the ground in the lounge. However, if you do decide to throw a tantrum just because your in J/F and book your family in Y thus no lounge access. You should have sorted that out at booking or at check-in so you down grade yourself to be with them.
5) Finally, I don't think Emirates would be bothered with losing your business. Seems like your one of a kind with your train of thought.
Apologies to all others if this is a bit harsh but you should have seen the previous 8 drafts
