Access to CX lounge in Manila
Hi,
I have WP status and will be departing MNL next week to SYD on QF. The QF lounge at MNL is always packed, but I have noticed there is a CX lounge next door. As CX fly ex MNL about 6 times a day I am hoping their lounge maybe better than the QF lounge.
My question is am I entitled to access the CX lounge when I am flying QF? My reading of the oneworld rules is that I am, but I am not sure.
Regards

Is the qf lounge the same as the jl one?
If so the cx one is bigger but I can't say much about the food.
If wp is ow emerald then you should be able to get in no problem.

I can say that accessing MNL CX lounge is one thing; enjoying it is quite a different animal. It is definitely nothing to write home about. The J section can get very crowded, and the F section is little more than a dentist's office with computers. Also, the food is the same in both areas.

Thanks for all the comments.
I am travelling on a Monday, so that 1 day of the week QF leaves before the last CX flight. I may pop into the CX lounge just so I can compare to the QF one. I do find that with the QF lounge, despite being small, the staff do try very hard to make the stay pleasant.
I always aim to get to MNL airport early, because of all the queues and the smallness of the lounge.
