I know the question is sort of dumb

I usually fly CI back to Taiwan for summer break. This year, I just decide to choose CX rather than CI because the new low blow of CI's hard/soft products on board.

Book my ticket on Jan 22 (K class, travel on June 16 and July 29, SFO-HKG-TPE v.v.) and notify my father using his miles to apply upgrade on line. All four sectors have confirmed upgrade business. My father also provides my original booking reference number on line.

After that, my father and I both got email, which confirmed the upgrade request and said the ticket will be automatically issued before Feb 21.

I log on to CathayPacific.com and find out that I currently have two booking reference numbers, one for coach, another for Upgrade business. My father also tells me he doesn't see mileage deduction yet.

In this case, how long does CX process my upgrade request? Will CX wait until Feb 21 to issue the upgrade? Once CX issues the upgrade, do I also get email notification?

This is the first time I apply upgrade for CX flight, and it is a totally different system comparing with CI. I am kind of confused and worried.

Answers from you guys will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!!!
