I am planning to Korea and probably will fly HKG-ICN & then back PUS-HKG. If I use asia miles to upgrade my Y ticket to C, are these 2 legs considered as a return upgrade or 2 single one-way upgrade.

I think one open-jaw is allowed, but you should ask AM/MPC- you need to call to book such a trip anyway.

Beware! AFAIK, CX and KA upgrades cannot be issued as one award, and only CX flies HKG-ICN and only KA flies PUS-HKG.

Thanks. Probably I need to book 2 one-way upgrades instead.

Will you book 2 return upgrades with 70K miles plus 2 Y tickets at around US$960 total or 2 C award tickets with 100K miles?

I've done open Jaw mileage upgrade from J to F twice. Once it was going HKG-LHR returning CDG-HKG and another time it was HKG-CDG outbound and returning LHR-HKG. LHR & CDG ex-HKG both fell under the same Zone D. So mines both times were calculated as HKG-Zone D roundtrip.

But as said this only applies if both sectors are with CX.

if I remember right even routes like HKG-LHR/LAX-HKG can be issued as roundtrip upgrade - I think the rule is something like, as long as LHR-LAX is shorter than HKG-LHR and LAX-HKG...then it can be regarded as an open-jaw. but I'm not 100% sure on this - so just FYI.
