Gold guest lounge access
Just got an email from skywards that from 27th February gold members traveling in Y can again bring a guest to the business class lounge in DXB.
And as well to the emirates lounges across the network.

A better option would have been, if they would hand out a certain number of guest vouchers to Gold members.

Now when EK put everything into reverse and change course (for the better) some of us are still not happy
Personally, I think they've done a good job with this and have earned some good will brownie points.

Crikey. We're a tough crowd. First we complain from the rooftops when the Y guest access was removed, then the Silvers stick their heads in the oven and turn the gas on full when their access is revoked....

Agree, EK have done a great job and deserve credit for this.

I'm sure across the 3 lounges its will be ok capacity wise...big benefit to silvers, bigger than golds beings able to guest in a pax again in my view

I pretty much joined this forum (have lurched for a while) to acknowledge what I consider a very good decision.

From your TRs i guess you (and #1 son) enjoy some really special guest access to EK lounge anyway!
- looking forward to the next one!I wanted to ask you (as i had a lot of free time lately to catch up on TR section) - how do you go from arrival at t3 to FCL and then leave terminal for meetings before your connecting flight? Is this allowed?

I have a flight coming up from AKL to SYD in March. Will be interesting to see if I'm allowed a guest in as 2 380 and a 777 all leave to the Australian east coast in quick succession. Would not be surprised if this was a point where they still disallowed guest access. Too bad for my mate who may have to wait outside, lol

I can't help it if my Gold status lasts for so long. I requalified for Gold in October 2011 and have barely flown EK since, but it's still valid till June 2013 because of the way my membership year aligns.

Very good comment, exactly my opinion.
