Looking at getting a flight across to Europe via Hong Kong but it will be booked on a Lufthansa flight code but travelling on Cathay pacific then onwards with Lufthansa. Will I my Star Gold benenefits still be applied or not?
I don't have personal experience with this, but information from the Star Alliance website suggests your flight needs to be operated by a Star Alliance member airline to be eligible for Gold benefits. So a Lufthansa codeshare operated by Cathay Pacific doesn't appear to be eligible.
As a Star Alliance Gold customer travelling in any class on a Star Alliance member airline operated flight, you have access to any member airline lounge at the airport where your flight departs, if the following conditions are met:
You present your boarding pass of a Star Alliance member airline operated flight which departs at the same day as your visit or latest by 05:00 AM the next morning.
If your boarding pass does not carry the Star Alliance Gold indicator, you will need to also show your valid Star Alliance Gold card.
The lounge displays the Star Alliance Gold logo at the entrance.
