If darthlemsip simply means that it is a QF marketed and operated flight that happens to be on a ticket issued by EK, then Cathay PAcific lounge access would be available
Given that the thread relates to EK marketed and QF operated - if this is what is being referred to, there is no access to Cathay Pacific lounges

OneWorld lounge access benefits for class of service apply when the flight is both marketed by and operated by a OneWorld carrier

OP, Just so you know the new QF lounge has been delayed until the (Northern Hemisphere) Autumn so no cigar there. If the stars align, I'd recommend CX.

Any access that can be obtained is not in line with the benefits of status and I suspect likely lead to the embarrassment of being refused entry

But we're not talking about an EK-operated flight, ... So your point?

I doubt that a CX agent will be unable to read the boarding pass and see the EK flight number

If it is a QF BP it'll show the QF number and "sold as EKxxxx" which could be missed, but yes it's a gamble.

Ok, I'm straying from topic here....
But, was supposed to fly SYD - AKL in J on Emirates. Ticketed on EK and operatade by EK but since service is discontinued I'm moved to QF J instead.
Will I get EK lounge acess in SYD?
Would love to try their lounge

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but it looked most relevant to the question I am trying to answer. Have an upcoming codeshare flight LHR - DXB in J. EK booking, EK flight number, QF metal.
Which lounge (or lounges) can I access at LHR (the rules may have changed since 2013)?
Thanks
