The abuse that CX gets to make $50 per entry, I'm sure AA won't be too happy if their elite member hops around 4 lounges and they end up paying CX $200.

This has nothing to do with the pax, it's about airline to airline agreement. What the pax does has no bearing.

Newly qualified MPC SL/Ruby exclusively on CX metal. Does CX has a minimum segment/miles requirement on CX or KA metal like in other programmes to requalify?

Clipper801 was probably asking if there's any minimum requirement that it has to be spend on CX/KA metal. Which is... only 1 sector required, regardless of elite level.

Members of The Marco Polo Club are required to travel at least one eligible sector on Cathay Pacific or Dragonair per membership year in order to attain or retain Silver, Gold or Diamond status.

Thanks CanucksHKG for the clarification!

As you clearly stated yourself - it is an agreement between the airlines and if they have signed it, why call it abuse?

Also the $50 thing is just based on here say and quite possibly this is not the way it works and there maybe other arrangements

AA does not pay CX because AA does not fly to HKG. It is the elite members' departing carrier that pay CX. See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...ge-access.html and http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/archive/t-1093532.html.

Just slightly OT---

Just got a status upgrade to MPC Silver this week due to company corporate contract.

Two questions:

1) Does MPC Silver access to "Business Class Lounges" include access to contract lounges at JFK/airports that do not have a CX operated lounge?

2) If answer to #1 is yes: I will not receive my MPC card prior to my flight next week. Should I ask for a lounge invite during checkin?

Mahalo!

Not OT at all. Glad you did some searching and found this thread instead of starting a new one.

You're only allowed access to T7's BA lounge when departure on CX flights. If you're taking a JFK-YVR or JFK-HKG flight, they will automatically print you an invite without asking. Your CX SL does not equal OWS. You cannot access other terminal's OW lounge.

Another way of thinking about this is that as a SL you get access to whatever lounge CX has designated for business-class pax at a particular airport before your CX flight. At some airports that will be fully CX-operated, at other airports (like JFK) CX may contract with another airline to provide lounge services for the flight. I do think the wording on the website, at least the last time I looked at it, can be a little confusing in this regard.

Or even simpler.

As long as you had your MPO in your booking, the only lounge you're able to access is the ones printed on your lounge invite when you're checking into CX flights.
