I am meeting a friend at HKG airport since we both fly out around the same time. I am flying with CX (I have gold membership) and he's with another carrier. I am allowed to bring one guest but I don't know if they check that the guest is flying with CX or not. Can anyone please advise?

You can have one guest and they don't have to be flying with CX. They have to leave the lounge when you do.

Officially that maybe the case. However, from practical prospective, is this rule enforceable in a lounge like WING and PIER?

Is it worth getting your card marked to risk it?

Can you bring a guest to the lounge when you flying business class on CX? Thanks.

No, I didn't mean to cheat the system, I just thought they wouldn't bother to keep track once you are inside, well, at least for business class section of the lounge.

I don't think guests can be brought by BIZ Pax. more info here:

I also didn't know this rule. I invited a lady I met on one flight a couple of months ago to the F section of the Pier. She had something like three hours to kill while I had less than 40 minutes to connect to an onward flight. After arriving at the lounge, I immediately went to the gate and left her there.

a similar question, but I am not MPO Gold, only oneworld Emerald...I am flying CX tomorrow and can bring one guest into the F section of The Wing/Pier...does the guest have to be flying oneworld ?

my friend is flying out on SQ F...he is always flying premium cabins with Star and I want to show him how nice the Wing/Pier is...

thanks !!

Any slightly more salacious details you'd care to share with respect to the female you met on the flight?

I had to check what 'salacious' should mean. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

She was an old lady flying, according to her, to LHR to see one of her daughters studying there. I don't usually talk to other pax on the plane but she was such a polite lady in her manners that I just thought that she deserved a nice rest before a long flight. We were in the Y cabin.

enlgish not being my mother tongue, but i guess it means something like "a foot massage" in the cabana, in the pulp fiction context
