After I landed in HK, I rushed to the city for a two-hour meeting and then returned to the airport for my KA flight back to PEK. I was tired and sweaty. I wished I could have a shower at the airport lounge, but unfortunately I have no status on Oneworld.

At the check-in counter, I saw a long economy line while the business class line was fairly empty. I thought I should tried my luck with my expired AA Gold card to see if could use the business check-in counter. It worked, and to my surprise, I even scored an upgrade to KA’s business class!! I was told that Y was full and I was op-ug, and the agent thanked my business. I think I had a full-fare Y ticket did the trick.

Armed with a business class boarding pass, I was able to access CX’s Wing club……and took a shower!!
