I suspect this policy didn't exist in Oct '11.

I've had two experiences when traveling with my Chairman (both Gold, him in F and me in either Y/J) where we were redirected to the Business Lounge rather than being allowed into the First Lounge if we wanted to sit together.
We are traveling together again in a couple weeks, so will try our luck again.

As far as I'm concerned, given that they won't officially let my wife into the lounge if she's travelling with me, we don't book Emirates if she's flying. This probably isn't good for their bottom line, but it's what they've mandated.

Was able to guest a colleague into F lounge at DXB T3 the other day - he was on the same flight (which is the requirement) and I am gold and I was in F. I did not even get a second glance when I asked to leave his name at the check in desk for the lounge because he was 5 minutes behind me. The dragons were perfectly accomodating.

I am taking 3 people to DXB and Nice(France) this summer.
They all take First Class and I only take Business.
Since no one has Emirates Status, can I not use First Class Lounge, right?
Are those First and Business lounge nearby in DXB?
Is there any chance Emirates allow me to stay with 3 first class passengers in First Class Lounge?

Thanks Dave Noble and w00t!
I will just try and see what they say.
Personally, I feel better by myself in Business Lounge, but they need my help since they are novice travellers and do not speak English at all.
So I can excuse to say that the Emirates does not allow me to stay with them

This is not lounge question, but the Emirates has the limousine services at Dubai and Nice, right?
If we have a group of 4 with a lot of luggage, shall we order two cars or do they have any Mini Bus type car, especially at Dubai?
Thanks in advance

If all of you are in F or J then call your local office, and book the service and mention that you are 4 passengers and would like 2 cars. I have done it a couple of times.
