Whatever you do, always check-in with AC first. Sometimes when you do OLCI with AC, they may have the ability to also check you in for the onward CX flight.
I've had AC OLCI boarding passes saying "CATHAY PACIFIC" right at the top before!
Do not check-in with CX first. If you do so, AC won't be able to issue your CX boarding pass.
But you can print your own CX BP anyway after doing OLCI, no? I'd say go ahead and do CX OLCI at 48 hours, especially if chasing a low BN on the off chance of an op-up is your thing.
