F Lounge access / Auto-upgrade layover
Hello! I have a question about F class lounge access in DXB.
I have a two leg trip from LAX -> DXB -> KHI coming up next month.
Originally booked J class Flex Plus for all segments using skywards rewards
I've recently upgraded the LAX-> DXB leg to First Class Flex Plus via the auto upgrade with points,
The DXB -> KHI leg (EK606) does not have a F class cabin, so I didn't enroll this segment in the auto upgrade.
It just occurred to me that I may not get F lounge access during my layover because it's generally based on the departing flight.
Has anyone been in this situation before? We only have about 2 hours of layover in DXB but this is my first time in any UAE F class and I'm hoping for the full experience! Thanks in advance.

Well shoot! Thanks for the response.
I was holding on to some optimism because I have read anecdotes that when the 2nd leg of your trip doesn't offer F class you are still allowed access to the lounge.
In these cases does the ticket for departing leg still say F even if it's ultimately a J seat?? ie. if you just paid cash for a F class trip

This is probably what you are referring to from what you have read. If its a paid F flight but the second leg doesn't have F you can access the lounge, however, you have effectively upgraded one sector so they will not see it the same. It is worth a shot with the lounge staff but I wouldn't get your hopes up. And your second boarding pass will say "Business".
