Sapphire question
Quicky question re Cathay Gold / OW Sapphire.
I understand that a guest can be taken into a lounge ..... But can the same accompanying guest also join me at business checkin and priority boarding? I can' t see this specifically mentioned anywhere. Don't like suprises or confrontations .....
Thanks.

We've never had a problem, even when not on the same PNR
Though, being the polite person I am, I always ask at the check-in/gate if it's alright for the Mrs to get the Sapphire treatment with me - the response has always been a slightly surprised 'but of course!'

This is the type of thing where, within reason, CX or other OW airlines will not send your friends/colleagues away. If you were to bring 1 or 2 guests with you to J checkin, there is no problem and I'm sure most Sapphire members will have done this, even on a different PNR.
Bringing in 10 guests on the other hand, would likely result in being politely told that your guests are welcome to use the Y checkin instead.
Where the line is drawn, nobody knows for sure... but I'm sure the staff have some guidelines somewhere.
