That feels a bit spiteful to me. You'd really change lounges just to make a HKD $100 million company pay an extra $10 or $20 for your lounge entry? Wow.
QR is not a good example. Their own elites don't get access to Al Safwa / Al Mourjan. In fact EVERONE is treated equally - ie access via class of service (which btw doesnt preclude the "grAAbers or grASpers" so often complained about.
NOBODY in OW has a lounge where their own OWE can enter to the exclusion of others.
The equivalent would be CX saying that only their F/J ticketed passengers can enter their lounge. Imagine the outcry that would cause when Mr ex TPE/PVG on an I ticket (which is QR's model) gets to enter, but Mr DM who is flying Y HKG-SIN due to company policy can't?
