I'd rather spend time there than the crowded CX F lounge (and make the choice to do so when flying CX as BA GGL, which I believe is the only way to be admitted when flying CX).
Yes, BA, JAL and AA when flying F, but not CX F.

CX as BA GGL I can imagine likely had the lounge front desk confused. Even when flying a straightforward JAL F, which is the only way I've been in under my own steam, seems a struggle for them.

I quite like it for some quiet, expensive Champagne, bistro level food, and fantastic table service, but there is a very definite lack of power sockets. I don't think there's ever been more than two other tables in use on the three occasions I've been in there since it became a mini CCR.

If I can get the throne seat in the CX F lounge, I find myself spending very many hours in that seat.
