I agree that there should be a check on who is inside and who is outside (for fire regs etc). Also there are several entrances to lounges.(J lounge in B concourse has at least 3 AFAIK). They do have another layer of dragons doing a secondary check of the BP's at some entrances (if you look dodgy):D I have to admit that its easier for the dragons at outstations to keep track as the pax volumes are lower and there are usually a couple of hours between each EK flight.I have seen them do a manual sweep of the lounge and ask pax which flight they are on so that they can ensure that they are not missing their flight.This is obviously impossible at DXB. |

With the greatest respect ukdoctor, what I have said about EK sending warning letters to staff because of pax not getting on flights is not nonsense - I would ask you go and talk to receptionists about that in a quiet moment if you don't believe me. This is the reason why some are reluctant to let you into a lounge that is not on your departure concourse. What happens when a pax misses his or her flight (and yes, I think that at DXB the management policy is quite absurd, considering pax may enter the lounge, leave to go shopping and then go to the gate late missing their flight - it happens) is that if that pax has checked into a lounge before their flight but doesn't show up at the gate and there's no other reason why, management will go back and check to see at which station the BP was scanned at - and the staff member who was logged into that station at the time is going to get a warning on their file. The fact there is no lounge exit check making this policy quite unreasonable doesn't preclude EK from having it...!

Yes, I think the warning for something they have no control over in these edge cases such as pax have entered the lounge then left and got lost in the airport (that happens more regularly than we might think...) is totally unreasonable...but somehow not so unsurprising. EK is like a massive boarding school!

Travelling F with companion in J
No status but traveling through DXB on EK in F. My traveling companion is in J.
I have searched but have not found any policy on guesting into lounge when flying premium cabin with no service. Any help? |

Unofficially, the rule seems to be that you can guest one person, but only at DXB.
I managed to guest someone in the f lounge on a different flight too recently from the Qatar Airways forum. They assumed he was the platinum member!!! He was dressed much smarter than me 😂😂😂 |

What is the current status for being able to guest people into the F lounge in DXB? My husband and I will be in paid F. Our friend will be in Y. Will she be able to join us? We have no Emirates status. Yes, I'm aware that we can buy entrance for her for $200.
What about the spa privilege? Is that restricted to the two of us in the lounge by virtue of our airfare? If my husband wants to gift his treatment to her, can he do so? |

if you are in the same flight no problems whatsoever guesting - they can also use all F privileges including the free spa treatments - I recommend booking in advance so you get the time you desire. |

Do you get the same F privileges if travelling on a QFF award ticket? |

Not sure if/when it changed, but it sure seems like the F+Guest (in DXB, at least) is now documented.
