Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Using miles to upgrade from J to F?

Hi All,

Anyone managed to upgrade from J to F using miles? The reason I ask is that F on CX is (obviously) pretty small - so, presume CX would try and hold out for paying pax (which they seem to have no dearth of... ;) ). Tried twice - one with about a week to go before the flight, the other about a month to go - both times was told full up, so not possible
So, just wanted to get any other experiences - especially positive ones.. :cool: ...so at least there's some hope....

Might be a silly question - as a last resort, could one ask at check-in if one could upgrade using miles.....

Cheers All....

I upgraded from J (actually I) to F one-way in the lounge whilst waiting for my HKG-FCO flight last year. No problems at all.

Assuming you are talking about using AsiaMiles to upgrade, then yes I do it several times a year. Sometimes in advance, sometimes on departure at the airport. But on some flights on some routes they can be hard to get.

Thanks All.

Referring to JFK-HKG - and seeing that J usually goes pretty full, imagine the same would be the case for F.... :( .....so less chance....
