Besides that, there's the Air France lounge. I heard AF is pretty lackluster all around. So trying to avoid that.
Assuming Cathay is closed in the morning, would you recommend trying to get into VA Clubhouse with my Priority Pass instead? I'm not interested in trekking all the way to Terminal 1 for the other decent lounges since I have an international flight. Sad that the Centurion lounge is close
On some days, CX has a midday flight to HKG, and the lounge will open mid-morning. From memory, Sunday is one of those days, and you can easily search Google Flights to find the other days. CX is the best one world lounge at SFO. BA is notorious for limiting access to its own flights, so as an AY OWE, I don't even bother although I should have access.
When the CX lounge isn't open, the AS lounge is a pretty good backup plan. It's a 10 minute walk from the Terminal A gates, the food selection isn't bad, barista made coffee drinks, and a very good beer and cider selection. I don't bother with any of the PP lounges when flying out of A or T1.
