Of course I wish CX would adopt an emerald ban, but that is admittedly wishful thinking!

Does the QF lounge still offers the shortcut at the back to the Deck? Previously remembered that you could exit the back of the QF lounge and it would have brought you directly to the then G16 lounge and the escalators down to the gate. But of course, the G16 was so crap, that nobody bothered going.
If the shortcut was still open, I was just thinking - I can so see that the opening of The Deck could cause CX's partner lounge bill to skyrocket lol
It wld be convenient to visit the Deck via using the QF lounge as a thoroughfare (QF bills CX for CX metal pax - kaching thank you very nuch)
CX will probably kick and scream (and lobby HKIA to somehow shut down the exit). OTOH QF would be happy to claw back plenty of revenue it pays to CX for its own members lounge crawls.
But as they say in real estate - Location, location, location.

This is one of the few things MPC/CX can do within the actual rules of OW since SL is only OWR, though I don't know how that would go over with members. They can always claim 'capacity issues' for OWS and OWE of other programs though if they wanted to be cheeky.

I assume the door will re-open when The Deck opens, as the stairs to access The Deck will be in use once again.
