CX F class award ticket - Lounge access for guest?
I'll be flying on CX F class connecting from US to HGK (First Class - 1st segment) + HKG-BOM (Biz Class - 2nd segment).
1. Will I able to access all CX lounges at HKG airport (including F class lounge)?
2. Will I able to give access to Guest on any lounges (including F class lounge)?

Not even the 7000 Asia Miles per person is worth it, let alone 9000. Only useful when there are long delays but when there are long delays the lounges would be like a zoo and very unpleasant.
Friend had the misfortune to fly HKG-JNB last July right after a hurricane when HKG reopen. Flights while resumed operating they were all delayed for hours. He said the lounge was so crowded he thought about just waiting at the gate instead.

I think the post hurricane chaos had a lot to do with his "very poor" experience (using his own words).
My feeling is, it does not worth to pay 7K miles per person but in your example, it may be worth it so the extra person would not be left out.

Friend, wife and daughter, all 3 flew business class so by class of service all 3 persons had lounge access but he said Wing business class lounge was terrible that evening. I told him he should have ventured to the other lounges instead. On their way back they went to Pier which he said easily among the best lounges he had used.

the lounge would get u some food n drinks. Nth particularly more.
and yeh i think those prices are where i think cx gets to charge to take the last person of a group at marginal cases.

I will be traveling with my wife's ex-manager family. It will be group of 4 and they not frequent flyers.
The problem really is that the QF business side lounge at SYD really got nothing to eat at night before CX138, the difference between J & F lounge is huge for evening departures and we will all be flying Y. Be able to use 12000 miles so all four of us can have a proper full dinner and drinks before 9 hour of night flght in Y.
It is only CX DMs can redeem F lounge access, since all DMs can already guest 2 pax, it seems all of the 12000 mile lounge redemption will be used for group of 4 (or more). Does 12000 miles worth the value of 4 people at F lounge?
With outport none CX F lounge redemption, can we do it at check in?
