OW Emeralds, flying KA, get no access to CX lounge until KA becomes an official OW member.
On this occasion though, she let me into F lounge with my Y class KA BP, but only when her colleague stepped away.
Sorry if my report on the other thread caused some confusion. The fact that I was allowed into the CX F lounge with a KA Y Class boarding pass (on a KA flight number) was a one-off. Strictly speaking I should not have been allowed but the lady who was manning the lounge counter on that day recognised me and having chatted to her quite a few times outside at the F check-in podium in the past, we addressed each other by first name! Rather than feeling "important" I actually felt a little embarrassed - I hope she didn't feel I was taking advantage her friendliness!
Anyway, to confirm, no F lounge access for CX DM travelling on KA until KA joins oneworld
