You get the lounge for the class of travel for your departure, not your arriving flight.
Your post is a bit vague on that. But yes, a ‘normal’ miles upgrade gives the same lounge benefits as a paid ticket.

Bangkok Lounge Access QF SG + Guest?

2 of us will fly BKK to HKG in Y on a QF award ticked with EK flight number.
According to QF website it seems that I, the QF gold status pax, will have access but I'm wondering if I can invite 1 guest. Does anyone have any first hand experience in this situation?

Lounge access for Gold member guest in First

As a Gold member, if I fly in First out of Dubai, can I have a guest in the First class lounge if the guest fly only in Business class?

Not sure, but somebody may have the exact answer.

Lounge access question

If you fly Business or First to Dubai, then transit and leave DXB in Economy, do you have access to the Lounges in DXB? I got two opposing answers from staff at Dubai last week.

No acces, only if you're silver, gold or platinum.

Technically that not true :-) - There is access by paying the fee.

Weird, you shouldn't have been permitted access, unless you have Platinum status
