AS did not issue the EK BPs but did check bag through. Walked airside to EK lounge - presented passports, negative PCR test docs, and the bag claim receipt. We then entered the lounge and the attendant said she'd return our docs and provide the BPs when she had completed everything. I'm sure we were well into the first glass of bubbles when we received the docs
