But I'm assuming you don't actually have any Skywards status with EK .....?
At least from my experience, gold status doesn't seem to matter if arriving in F and departing in J regarding F lounge access at DXB. I'm gold and not knowing the rules at the time, tried just that. The lounge attendant told me that they only allowed F lounge access if you are departing in F.
