I've been through this lounge 4 times now since it opened, both as a QR FF in Y and paid F - definitely no separate area for F! It's not really big enough for that! It's a massive step up from the DXB Intl Hotel lounge we used to use.
But as all have said above - it is tickets QR only. Unsure as to whether its open to Silvers too. Worth coming into though - very nice lounge!^
I like the fact FF can use too as EK allows Skywards silver and gold to their business lounge and plats to their first...!

I've seen contradictory statements on this. According to press releases on 27th April and 1st May, only Plats and Golds have access.

flyalways apart from between 00.30 and 05.30 there is no period of over two hours where there are no departures. Since, like check-in, the lounge would usually open three hours before departure the only time it is possible to close is 00.30-02.30. So I would guess that it is open 24/7.

QR can accept baggage in DXB for a flight that is 6 hours later ? I may
be able to check in the baggage around 11:30 PM for the 5:30 AM flight.
Will they accept it ? That was my original reason to ask the question you
answered above..
Thanks in advance...

Just to add to this, the last flight is correctly slated as 00.30. After the final call for this flight the cleaners move in for a clean up for 1 hour or so.
During this period, and the hour afterwards, the lounge remains open but with VERY limited service.
Its not worth closing for the hour so is indeed confirmed 24/7.

UAworldwide while it is only an impression, I get the impression that F is basically any time but Y is is thought to be a strictly policed three hours before departure.

ASUDan130 The only arrivals lounge access you have on QR is at DOH. There is no arrivals facilities at any other airport and Arrivals lounges are not part of Oneworld.

had to request multiple times to accept my baggage almost 6 hours before
the flight but they finally did accept. (11:30 PM for 05:30 AM flight)
This allowed me to clear security and get to the lounge.
Lounge lady was also considerate and allowed me more than 4 hours stay
(which is the limit for lounge) and suggested the family room with long
couch for sleeping until the flight ! Overall a good experience with the
lounge and staff...
