CX Lounge guests
Hi all, sorry I'm not sure if this has been covered anywhere but I don't have much time to look for the answer by searching previous posts. So please forgive me.
Do lounge guests have to fly on the same flight on CX/KA as the MPO member?
Thanks.

Guests do not even need to be flying as no ID is required upon entering. They simply note that you are bringing in guest(s). I've taken into the lounge friends who work at the airport.

That is only if you are relying on oneworld access rules (ie using your status with another oneworld carrier). If you are using MPC status while travelling on a CX/KA flight, there is no such restriction

That is also what I remembered, but it stated differently on MPC web page: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_H...-benefits.html. It seems that guest for a GO member must also travel on OW flights:
1. Available only to members and guests departing on flights marketed and operated by Cathay Pacific, Dragonair and/or oneworld carrier flights.

1. Guests can be travelling on any airline, as long as they are accompanied by a member and access the lounge in accordance with the members entitlement.
2. If the member is travelling on a non-Cathay Pacific/non-Dragonair/non-oneworld carrier flight, guest access is restricted to Cathay Pacific Business Class lounges and Dragonair lounges.

You are a DM. Your guest needs not travel on a OW airline:
1. Guests can be travelling on any airline, as long as they are accompanied by a member and access the lounge in accordance with the members entitlement.
2. If the member is travelling on a non-Cathay Pacific/non-Dragonair/non-oneworld carrier flight, guest access is restricted to Cathay Pacific Business Class lounges and Dragonair lounges.

really? I wouldn't be surprised, just I never noticed it and it hasn't been enforced.
I've definitely taken a guest in to the F lounge recently who was not flying on CX/KA. He was on United. I'm DM. According to these updated rules - which I was totally clueless on, I thought I could bring anyone in (I've brought in an airport staff before) - he shouldn't have been allowed in. In reality they just waved him through when I gave the lounge card.
