Hi! I have a question for you guys around Cathay lounge pass. I am Silver and would like to be able to purchase a lounge pass for my travel
companion.
The price for both of us’s flights is $500 less on trip.com than on Cathay’s website/app.

Their travel companion policy mentions:

• Lounge pass is applicable for passengers holding a ticket issued by us (ticket number beginning with 160) and travelling on flights marketed and operated by us only.

Does this mean if I buy with a travel agency I wont be able to purchase a pass for him?

I looked through old tickets and could see that the issuer was CX although i used a travel agency but I am not sure it will be the same with trip.com.

Would love to hear from you experts!
