Possible to buy day pass for the CX lounge?

I will be flying Dragonair HKG-KMG next month in Y. Is it possible to buy a day pass to use CX's VIP lounge?

But I'm sure in HKG you can buy a lounge pass, just not for Cathay

get a MPC member to redeem the lounge pass for you?
"Access to Cathay Pacific Business Class lounges or Dragonair lounges is available for redemption with 7,000 Asia Miles per person. Access to Cathay Pacific First Class lounges is only available for Diamond members for redemption at 10,000 Asia Miles per person"

Just relax and get a little bit of something to eat and drink. Wireless connection would be great too. I have used the DL lounge because I have a Sky Club membership but I know that's not valid for CX. Any suggestions?

Wifi is free in HKIA. Besides, the food in lounges isn't really so special. I'd rather get some something to eat in the terminal. Check out the Hong Kong Airport website for options.

I agree...so many people coming onto these forums because they are too lazy to google answers themselves. If they don't know how to google I'm surprised they are able to buy a plane ticket.

I'm an AA EXP flying from LAX to HKG to DPS on an F award (DPS leg in J) with my wife and 3 children, which seats are the best on a 77W? Do you think they will let us all into the F lounge at HKG? The scheduled aircraft to DPS is a 747 which has F. Will they assign the F seats to us given that I'm on an F award ticket? This will be my first time on CX F and I just can't wait!

I am not lazy and I know how to google. I certainly know how to google Hong Kong International Airport. I just thought the poster had a url that I didn't know about. That's all.

Perhaps if you would like to post your exact date and flight time of travel, that maybe some fellow FTer with Oneworld or MPC status may be able to guest you in with them?

Also, you can also their "pay-in" lounges -

But, I agreed w/ other FTers, if you only go to lounge for food, you have plenty choices in the terminal. I have not used these paid lounges; my hubby has tried their shower once when he flew out non-CX airline during connection.
