Yes, as far as I know, just F won't give you guesting privileges, you need to have status (Gold or Plat) to do that.

DYKWIA

Actually... There is (or at least there used to be) an un-written rule that you can bring in a guest if you're flying F. But only at Dubai. Even if you had no status.

Maybe somebody could confirm?

fotographer

dont you wish Emirates will just make it clear on their own website?

m3red

Confirmed F can guest 1 with no status.

It used to be an unwritten rule, then it actually became a written one on their website - and suddenly disappeared again. Weird.

Also seems the price for paid lounge access has increased recently... Didn’t see that published anywhere either!

thijsseh

Really? How much is it now?

Flying EK404 to Melbourne in February. Departing time is 13.55h. Emirates.com is giving an opening time of the lounge of 12.35h (after a closure at 10.25h). Is that correct? It means less then 1,5h prior to departure.

I'm flying out of DXB in Y next month and after booking my flights, was able to pre-purchase business class lounge access in Manage My Booking for only 45 euros. Thought the standard rate was 125USD? Did I get lucky and come across a glitch or have others had the same experience?

Probably Marhaba Lounge rather than an EK Lounge.

Pandor

OMG no way, I really hope not.

modularmayhem

Unfortunately yes, i believe it will be the Marhaba lounge that you booked in MMB as the pricing seems about right.
Im surprised it wasnt clearer which lounge you were booking?

Pandor

There was absolutely no mention of the Marhaba Lounge in MMB, nor is there any mention of it in the confirmation email or receipt. In fact the Business Class Lounge in Dubai is specifically mentioned in the terms and conditions.

Just wondering, can any of the jargon in the receipt help to me to identify whether I'll access to the Business Class lounge? There's an EMD Number, Identification, connecting ticket/coupon number, reason for issuance and document type but I don't understand most of the letters/numbers in it.
