KA F to CX J (regional): Which Lounge?
Did a search and read through the FAQ and was only able to turn up that long haul F to regional J allows for F lounge access. What have been peoples' experiences in HKG when connecting from KA F (say PVG-HKG) to CX J (say HKG-BKK) with which part of the Wing they got access to? Thanks.

And P.S: Don't be surprise if your KA875 ended up being a two-class config without F.

Obviously you didn't search hard enough. Google's your friend my pal.
Your HKG-BKK flight is more than 5 hours.

I had a similar question. Lsat year I am pretty sure we flew KA F and connected to CX J and were allowed access to the first class lounge. However, I contacted Cathay customer service and was told that I would only have business lounge access this time.
If you have flights booked then just wait and see. If you have the same problem as us (flight downgraded to 2 class and could choose to fly a couple of hours earlier in F or the same time in J) you have to decide how important the time is to you.

interesting...when did you contact CX customer service? Is this something new? I wonder if they changed their policy. Would be keen to hear what happens. Relatives of mine face this similar issue in the near future - will be landing on CX F, but connecting to a two-class KA config in J. I told them they should be able to get into the F side of the lounge but this sounds like maybe the policy has changed?

Officially you're only allowed access the J lounge as you're connecting regional to regional. But price123 was lucky and was able to access F too.

p.s. Oneworld rule might has some difference... base on longer route, cross the pond...
If this is the case, I think moderator should update the thread:

9.4 I am arriving off CX First Class and connecting to a CX or KA flight in Business Class. Can I access the First Class lounge during my transit?
Yes. You will be issued with two lounge invitations when you check in for your flight, one for use at your outport and one for use in Hong Kong. Your Hong Kong lounge invitation will clearly display an invitation to "The Wing/Pier/Cabin/G16 Lounge - FIRST CLASS".
