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. 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.
