A very good evening from the land of random beeps...

Hello from the EK Lounge in Melbourne.
Thought I would post a positive lounge greeting as I have not been able to do so on here for a little while. Emirates were really polished today and check in were even able to check my bags through on my BA flight to LHR tomorrow. It is something that worried me a little at first, but the check in agent knew exactly what I was up to, (the ex-DUB trick is quite well known to EK) after all someone has to fill their new A380 out of and into DUB next year
He did need to see my booking email, to confirm the flight and cabin I was booked into, but all went off without a hitch.
There are stories in the dark depths of the internet that deal with the vagueness of interlining with more than one PNR to deal with... the short of it is that it is entirely possible with most long haul carriers, but sadly completely up to the check in staff that you deal with on the day. Never be afraid to give it a try.
Service in the lounge so far has been great and they even found some rugby for me to watch on tele (AFL finals, but close enough) Food is good with a fair selection available and yes photos will again follow - no mystery sandwiches to test my stomach lining this time around.
My flight ahead is 14hrs and 5 mins long on an A380, so there may very well be a Joeyc saying howdy ho from 40K feet to look forward too.
And I may have just finished the Jack Daniels bottle.... oh dear
