Hopefully imo, they will keep the 1st lounge for 1st class only
Since First Lounge access is a benefit of QFF plat, EK must offer this "higher benefit" as standard for the equivalent customers. That's what the sum of the 3 quotes equals in my post. Honestly the Dubai J lounge is no better than a standard Qantas Club lounge.
