Also get access to AA lounges when flying AA, and BA lounges when flying BA (so about 100 additional lounges). But for a single trip it is much cheaper to buy day passes at the airport (many lounges sell passes for circa USD50 per day, though the better ones do not). At HKG there are at least 2 options for bought lounges and showers, check the airport web site. Similarly at HEL. Or buy Priority Pass, which has lots of different airline lounges (not that I am recommending that, either).
