EWR - BA Galleries Lounge Access - CX Flight

[11sjw]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has experience re the BA Lounge at EWR. We're flying CX J EWR-HKG-PER later this year. Yep, burning all the QFF points.

I realise I can go into the F Lounge (Mrs 11 travelling later so Jnr 11 and I will go in. She'll be in the J Lounge a day or two later). My query is more around the time I can enter. The CX website says lounge is open 2100-0130, however the BA website says 1525-0130. Can i access the lounge earlier than 2100 or is it limited by CX's check-in not being open prior to this?

Any smart tips on getting to EWR from the city would also be much appreciated.

Thanks,

There is no F lounge at EWR, only F dining which is restricted to BA F customers.

I doubt you'll be able to access the lounge early as CX check-in won't be open. The only way around it that I know if is if you're connecting from another flight on the same PNR such that your bags will be checked through and you'll have your onward boarding pass.

Thanks for your reply. I think I read too much into this table: http://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...EWR.htmlrt/lounges/lounge-admittance.EWR.html
