Which CMB lounge?
I did a search here and elsewhere and received conflicting information. So for a contemporary answer I'll ask the question.
I will be in CMB in a little over two weeks and as a Qantas Platinum/oneWORLD Emerald which lounge am I entitled to use?
The Lotus/Araliya Lounge; note, I am not travelling in F.

You will have access to Araliya lounge if departing on CX. CX doesn't use Lotus lounge as there is no F on that flight and they wont' recognize Oneworld Emerald for lounge access as it is a contracted lounge. There is no meaningful difference in the two lounges other than the fact that Araliya could get crowded from time to time while Lotus is always quite.

Thanks for the replies; at least it should be better than the lounge I used last year; a sea of small couches with very little space between them to move about.

FWIW Araliya Lounge is a very nice lounge - very well catered - hot food, pasta, cakes etc and a good selection of beverages.
Only downside - believe neither Araliya or Lotus have showers - you need to use the US$3 showers in the airport (note only USD accepted) which are on your right just after you clear immigration
