What is your point exactly?

Don't focus on CX, I'd pay at QF. They will see a new hub in the center of Europe.

Swiss has always (at least for the past three years) used the CX lounges at HKG for their flights. This has nothing to do with its impending Oneworld entry.

I intended just for providing information.

Wasabi keep doing that. CX and LX have indeed been working a lot together. They also work together with Iberia and Finnair. Actually makes that the whole Oneworld move more logic. The Qantas story might be the most interesting, because they might give up more attractive destinations in exchange for Zurich. That would be very welcome for the Swiss.

I am sure that this is the case, but I noticed that on my most recent OWE, "LX" is listed as one of the airlines on which my ticket is valid. Probably an error on the part of the writer, but who knows.

PresRDC is that a fact. Maybe they adjusted the product already eventhough they aren't a member of Oneworld yet. I will follow up on this story next monday when my spokesperson with Swiss is available again.

Can you also check when they will update the oneworld schedule website with LX flights?

According to the webmaster of the Oneworld alliance web site, LX schedules will be added "once it formally joins the alliance (sometime in 2004)". Nothing very precise...
