Hello All,

In January, I will be traveling SFO - HKG on United and transfer in HKG for my HKG - BKK on Cathay Pacific. I am a MM Gold status thru United and purchased my complete itinerary thru United. Tickets are in Economy + on United and unknown thru Cathay.

The United had told me at booking that I should be able to use the lounge in HKG. Also that my luggage should transfer thru also. Does anyone have any experience with this or was this mis-information since the Cathay leg is not part of the Star Alliance? Thanks for the assist.
