Yes, I was expecting EK lounge access. When I fly Singapore Airlines connecting to their code share/regional carrier, SilkAir, in Singapore I get KrisFlyer lounge access. When I fly Cathay Pacific connecting to Cathay Dragon in Hong Kong, I get Cathay Pacific lounge access. When I fly Japan Airlines connecting to their code shared Cathay Pacific flight in Tokyo, I get access to the JAL lounge. My understanding is that my Emirates flight arriving in T3 would give me access to T3 facilities up until the point I take the shuttle bus over to T2. At least that is what I was told by the Dubai International Hotel in T3 when I contacted them to ask about room options during this layover. The hotel representative stated I would be fine as long as I did not leave T3 until I was ready to shuttle over to T2. Are you saying I will be required to transit to T2 as soon at I disembark my Emirates flight in T3?
