Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - Can anyone tell me if those 2 flights is eligible for upgrade or not?

Can anyone tell me if those 2 flights is eligible for upgrade or not?
If yes, please tell me how to do it as I never take any CX or KA's flight before but I heard that CX, maybe KA also allows upgrade by using Asia Miles? is that ture? and also must I use my own miles, not someone else's miles?

Thanks in advance

In general, you can get upgrade on both CX and KA:

However, you have a codeshare. I have not done that before, but there may be a problem as shown on the same page:
3. Upgrade awards are not available on Cathay Pacific flights departing for or from Vietnam, or on any codeshare flights.

Codeshare has a lot of restrictions. It is always better to buy non-codeshare tickets if possible.

so do you mean both CX flights operated by Dragon Air could not be upgarded?

Thanks

Yes - that is what we believe. But the only way to be sure is to call CX and ask them! It really doesn't matter what we say - what matters is what the AM/MPC agent says!
