lounge access LHR Cathay

[petermorrison]

I am off to London next week on Cathay and was wondering if anyone can confirm what lounge access there at LHR. I am Qantas Gold member flying PE according to the One World web site I have access to Cathay Lounge but on their site they say only if I am flying on a First or Business ticket

QF gold will give you access to oneworld business lounges. So at LHR T3 I believe that is CX, BA and AA.

Yes correct, you can go into the one world lounge a couple of min walk from the BA lounge I flew UL a few weeks ago and we used th BA lounge but that lounge wifi went down so went next door NO probs.

On ausbt there is a good review of the ow lounges at T3 BA is better for food and drink, CX for wifi - take your pick SG will get you in them all

I travelled from LHR six weeks ago as a QF Gold in Cathay PE and confirm I definitely had access to the Cathay Lounge in Terminal 3.

The lounge is called the Cathay Pacific First and Business Class Lounge - but the lounge access is spelled out in a separate table. You'll find that table through this link - you'll need to expand the 'Oneworld Frequent Flyers' section.

Oneworld sapphire (qantas gold) is eligible for access: Lounge Admittance | First & Business Class - Cathay Pacific

thanks for the heads up, thats what I understoodin regard to access to the loinges but I was confused by all the various explanations on Oneworld and CX sites, BTW what did you think if PE on CX?

Make sure you get a bulkhead seat! (can put your hand-luggage on the floor in front of you when you go to sleep and rest your legs on it - allows your legs to go fully horizontal)

If QF premium class is a Business Lite product, CX premium economy is a business Lite Lite (x2)

cheers, thanks for that will follow your advice!

I concur with MEL_Traveller, select a bulkhead seat if you can. The recline is such that you have to do a bit of calisthenics to get out from behind. Noticeably better than economy, but not as good as Qantas PE which is more upscale from the economy experience than Cathay PE.
