And see that it does not specifically call out OneWorld elites. That said I notice DEL, BKK, and LAX do not show OneWorld acces either, yet I have used all of those lounges travelling in economy. I think generally if that chart shows diamond or gold status, then the equivalent OW status is let in as well.

I can understand Hanoi as CX does not operate their own metal on this route.
Sorry I should've been clearer. The question should be, "SHOULD OW Sapphires be allowed access, according to CX policy?" A while ago in another thread, I asked when I was in SGN, and the gatekeeper showed me a PostIt ( ) that said only OW Emeralds should be allowed. Was he correct? We don't know for sure.

Point against Sapphires:
-It's a 3rd party operated lounge.

Point against me:
-I was flying JL/AA codeshare that day.

I'm just wanting to finalize this point.
