Departing on Cathay Pacific, oneworld carrier or codeshare** flights only".
The footnote for "**' is "** Lounge access is limited to lounges operated by CX only." In the lounge admittance rule, it did not specify the flight needs to be both operated
and marketed by CX or oneworld carrier. I think you will have access to lounge without an issue.
I had a flight with CX ticketed via LX last December. With EMER I used F checkin and lounge, no question asked, standard benefits applied.
Were you able to select your seat at booking or need to wait till online check in or at airport? I can't reserve my seat and both airlines put the blame on others. VN: We can't select seats on CX flights. CX: Please call VN and it is none of our biz as your ticket isn't start with 160 and none of the flights are CX inventory. What's my top concern is my 3 yr old kid would end up sitting alone and the purser come to me if he is causing issue. I told CX about this but they didn't seem to bother much.
