Why would the OW site state that a CX pax flying in F is entitled to get into the CX F lounge? Isn't that just redundant. It has nothing to do with OW - CX already provides for that. This may rely too much on the legal reasoning that words should be given some effect, but if the statement is interpreted to apply to premium pax for the airline running the lounge it would have no effect - thus the words need to be interpreted to have some effect/meaning. Ofcourse legalese (or logic) doesn't necessarily have any connection to OW.
