Do you recall if they actually let you in at HKG? If so, was it based on your incoming flight on CX?

[Thinking about CX6204, which is operated by MIAT as OM2972. Booked through MIAT, the r/t flight costs ~3.800 HKD and if booked through CX it costs ~4.000 HKD. So 200 HKD for potential lounge access as CX DM in Economy, which I would certainly be willing to pay.]

CX already clarified this. Any MPO élite member departing on a CX- or KA-coded flight can access CX-operated lounges, so you will be allowed access. See https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...-benefits.html, under "Diamond" --> "Lounge Access" --> "Cathay Pacific First Class Lounges," it says, "Available only to members and their guests departing on ... flights marketed, but not necessarily operated, by Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon."
