The saga continues.

I appreciate that if I fly on QF metal I have to use their lounges (whether the flight has an EK number or not).

If I book via QF but fly Y on EK metal (it is quite a bit cheaper to do it that way at the moment) does that mean that as a Skywards gold I get access to say the EK lounges at Heathrow and Brisbane?

I know I have EK lounge access in DXB, simply as a gold flying onward either with EK or QF.

Thanks.
