HK$8000 (one way) to upgrade a student fare ticket to J. Kind of random.


Maybe one of these days CX will come up with some nice offers for frequent business travelers... I am getting kind of annoyed with them.

Im in the process of buying a number of different flights, J class to Sydney and back seems wide open for upgrades for a few weeks. In view of the above, is anyone flying in J at present?

wth? lol smart off them trying to plant the J seed into the heads of students. making them spoiled or what.
i'd frown on students getting in J. MFU and opup is a different story tho..

IMO, CX would probably get more response if they extended the offer to LAX, SFO, and YYZ as well.

I redeemed two J PEK-HKG-SYD with my expiring AA miles just now. Surprisingly happy to find there are a lot of choices. :p

Cripes, I have rung Asiamiles twice on two successive mid-day slots and gotten immediately through!

The very pleasant lady told me that upgrades are 20% less miles Ex-Sydney during July. I didn't know that.

When I originally read it I thought it was only LHR flights.

They are different. this thread is mainly about the 8K HKD LHR / YVR upgrade, while what I reply you is https://www.asiamiles.com/am/en/redeem/flights/awards?refID=675a17041b181210VgnVCM62000007d21c39R CRD&WAright=HomeBanner as you mention 20% off miles upgread

Thanks, thats clearer. Other flights the week before wont qualify, oh well.
