Cathay Wing Lounge Access at HK
I am flying with Singapore Airlines in J Class from Hong Kong in a few days.
I have heard good things about the Wings Lounge at HK airport.
I hold a Comped Cathay Pacific Diamond Elite Status, can i access the Wings lounge at HK when not flying with a one world carrier?
Newbie to Cathay so all help will be greatly appreciated

sorry a little OT here, but welcome to the CX board and congrats OP. There are not many people that get comped to DM status right away. Would you mind sharing your flying patterns? Also, when you mention diamond elite status, are you referring to diamond or diamond plus?

But back to your question - as you're not flying on CX, and even as Diamond, you can only use the Business Class lounge and not the First Class lounges which are the piece de resistance of lounges. You need to fly on a Oneworld flight to fully appreciate the benefits of being Diamond.. and to see the First Class lounges of CX at HKIA and QF lounges in Sydney. BA lounges we can miss.

How is the Business Class Lounge?
How does it compare with other Business Class lounges at Hong Kong Airport?
As far as I know Thai have a lounge at HK, I dont think Singapore airlines have one there.

Pity that you're comped on one of the most difficult cards to obtain - it takes 240,000 miles to get from zero to Diamond status , and you're not utlising it.
But back to your question - as you're not flying on CX, and even as Diamond, you can only use the Business Class lounge and not the First Class lounges which are the piece de resistance of lounges.
