Emirates Dubai First Class Lounge Access

[chk123]

Im thinking of flying in Emirates in the following sectors:
1. Aus to Dubai first
2. Dubai to China business

What are the chances I would be allowed into the first class lounge in dubai? since my onwards ticket is in business class?

Never hurts to ask, but Emirates bases your access on your onward departing flight, regardless of connections. You could still go in if you had Platinum with Skywards or Qantas, if somebody guested you in, or if you paid. Rates are on the Emirates website. If you technically qualify for the business class lounge through status (or likely even Qantas Club), you can pay a reduced 'upgrade fee' to use the first class lounge rather than business class. Otherwise, paying for the first class lounge is pretty pricey.
