You are correct - I had my C and A the other way around! Apologies. I've never flown from C!

Yes, but only very few and it's hardly worth mentioning.
And as I stated elsewhere before, I'm working on the new DWC terminal here in Dubai to which all of EK will be moving around 2025 and there will be NO direct access from any J or F lounges to the upper deck of any A380 sadly. Someone realised having a near kilometer long lounge simply doesn't work if you want any atmosphere in said lounge.
So sadly all F and J pax will have to go down to the shopping centre floor (that's what airports are these days!) and walk with the general Y class peeps to get to a standard gate from which they will board all flights. I think it is a great shame to take away the direct boarding. But at least there will be dedicated airbridges connected to the top deck - unlike the B concourse where you just have Code E airbridges connected to the lower deck and you have to climb the stairs inside the aircraft to get to the top deck making it impossible to roll your luggage all the way to your seat.
