The flight is not until Nov 2010 so there is a possibility of still getting this one segment upgraded (at least to what I paid for). Might we qualify for any preference at the gate when checking in for the upgrade at that time since we actually used miles for business but only got economy?
First off why did you agree to use the miles when they can only give you J for one segment?
You won't get any preference at the gate, and it sounds like CX already ripped you off by using your miles.
Sorry, you got ripped.
