Can he use the CX First Class Lounge?
The underlying question here:
Is the "international segment on the same day" based on departure date, or is it based on departure AND arrival dates of the international segment?
TIA for your help.
Since he is travelling in economy class , he does not seem to have access by virtue of class of travel unless CX decide to allow him in as an exception

Since the economy connection is neither domestic nor intra-European, I do not see that he would be entitled
