As a Gold member you can enjoy double the benefits with your travelling companion. A friend or family member checked in on your Emirates flight can join you in eligible lounges across the Emirates network, even if your companion is flying in Economy Class.
As a Platinum member, you can invite one guest accompanying you on the same Emirates flight to the First Class Lounge at Dubai International airport and eligible Business Class Lounges on our network, regardless of class of travel.
Please read the FAQ on lounge access for more information.
The lounge access benefit is available only when travelling onwards on an Emirates flight. Passengers flying on Emirates Staff tickets are not eligible to access the lounge as a guest.

I note they finally added no staff ticket guests to the website

EK lounges at some stations - during some periods - are crowded enough already.
The very idea of pax being allowed 'guests' travelling with non-EK carriers is quite scary .......

In general, EK will always know if an iO is present in a station (yes...even if they are on other carriers
) and will have sent a uniformed staff member to escort them to/from their incoming flight, to the lounge and to the next flight/through customs if permitted by local laws, when there is some kind of EK involvement (e.g. connection where one sector is on EK/QF flight number)

Singapore's Emirates lounge will only allow you to guest in someone if he/she is flying on the same flight as you are.
Meaning even if you are both flying Emirates metal, but not on the same flight. It's still a no-no.
