So if you have CX J SYD-HKG and F HKG-LHR all in one award ticket, do you get to access QF F lounge at SYD?

No. Not off the J segment.

But definitely CX F (Wing / Pier) lounge access.

There was a discussion on this a while back and I can’t remember if the OP came back with a definitive answer or not!

Cathay is unique in that it grants lounge access based on the higest class of travel for the day. So the F segment out of HKG should grant F lounge access on departure from SYD. However… they don’t have their own lounge.

CX issues lounge invitations on check-in, nit sure if they will give QF F lounge access. This is what we were waiting for the OP in the other thread to come back on!

I was going to add to my earlier comment (but didn’t to avoid confusion), that the reverse LHR-HKG-SYD would result in F lounge at LHR (definitely) and probably CX F (Wing/Pier) in HKG.

I’d be surprised if they could swing a QF F SYD lounge pass on a J BP, but happy to be told otherwise.

It would be the CX issued invitation on the boarding pass stock. Can’t search (the word ‘first’ is too common), to try and find the outcome of the previous discussion!

Don't suppose this applies to other OW carriers? Am booked for DOH-HKG F on QR followed by HKG-SYD J on CX (separate ticket)

Seperate ticket will prevent the system from doing it automatically. But you could ask?

No It is unique to Cathay’s own passengers connecting between Cathay flights.

Oh well. Couldn't be much more of a first-(one)world problem
