Hi
Later this week I will fly from SYD to SIN-LHR with SQ in F and my partner more or less on the same time to LHR with CX in C.
I am gold with Star and he his Silver with BA
(acces to Qantas Club I suppose)
I am a member of Priority Club
Do you see a solution for both of us to acces the same lounge (without having to pay for a guest with the Priority Club)
Thanks

Not AFAIK. While you are each allowed guests to respective lounge, based on your travel posted and your profile I dont think you can bring a guest who is travelling on the other alliance (CX one-world and SQ star alliance).
I'm not sure if this will work, but possibly if you could get hold of a QFF Silver lounge pass (dont think this requires same day one world flight?) then you could join your partner in QF business lounge.
A further difficulty is that at Sydney, CX and SQ leave from different piers of the international terminal. I havent tried myself but think you can transfer airside through a passageway.

... think you can transfer airside through a passageway.Yes you can, as described in parts of this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=389905).
There is a walkway at the departures level enabling access between Piers B & C. To use this (from pier B), head back down towards the Duty Free Jungle near immigration (don't go that far) and on the left you will see a small hallway with sign for departure gates 20 & 22. Follow this and as you come through look for a sign on the right indicating gates 50-63 or Pier C. Follow this and you will come out near some pier C shops.

I thought I had seen something! But correct me if I'm wrong, arent those instructions for arriving passengers, not for departing passengers (as the OP is)?
On the QF pier, after clearing immigration (as opposed to arrival transfer) gates 20 & 22 are on the right hand side just after the first duty free shop (which all pax have to walk through). Or am I misremembering?

As for the first part, there are links on both the arrivals and departures level. A couple of times last year after arriving in SYD mid morning I was directed from pier B down the arrivals link to pier C immigration. (pier B immigration was closed)
The posted directions are for departures, for arrivals there is a walkway at the arrivals level enabling access between Piers B & C. As you come down pier B towards the immigration gates look to to your left for a sign indicating gates 50-63 or Pier C. There is a passage that will take you through. It comes out near the Pier C immigation counters.
