Depending on your status, Qantas frequent flyers can access Emirates lounges. But in Dubai there’s a better option.

I have a 10-hour stopover in Dubai later this year flying premium economy with Emirates. I am a Qantas Gold frequent flyer member, currently upgraded to platinum. Can I access the Emirates lounges in Sydney and Dubai? I will be touring Jordan and Egypt with Bunnik.

Qantas platinum frequent flyers can access Emirates business class lounge in Dubai, but why settle for that when the airline will give you a free hotel room? Instead of a lounge, you can have a comfortable bed, and with 10 hours between flights you should be able to get at least six hours of sleep. You can book this online simply if you search “Emirates Dubai connect”. Other Middle East airlines offer similar conditions however they don’t always tell you when you make your booking, you need to know the perk exists. As a platinum Qantas member you are entitled to access Emirates lounges in Sydney and Dubai.

Aussie dollars are hard to exchange in the Middle East. Even if it’s possible, the exchange rate will be unfavourable. US dollars or euro are a better bet and either can be ordered through Travelex . I am planning a trip to Cornwall but organised bus tours are very expensive – around $5000 a person for eight days. Would it be preferable to self-drive from London, Bath or Dorset? I am also planning to go to Puglia – any suggestions about must see places to visit, would you suggest hiring a car and how long to spend there? I understand trains are limited in this area.
