Need some advice from you with experience with Cathay Pacific and oneworld.
Planning a trip for me and my wife to Australia. We're flying:
Stockholm to London - BA Business
London to Hong kong - Cathay Business (staying in HK a couple of days)
Hong Kong to Cairns - Cathay Business
Cairns to Ayers Rock - Quantas Economy
Ayers Rock to Cairns - Quantas Economy
Hamilton Island to Sydney - Virgin Economy
Sydney to Hong Kong - Cathay Business
Hong Kong to London - Cathay Business
London to Stockholm - BA Business
So... I was thinking of trying to collect som points/miles to maybe be able to upgrade one of the last flights to First class, but I have som questions;
1. Should we join Marco Polo or Aisan miles (or maybe another OneWorld programme)?
2. As I have no idea of the amount of miles rewarded on these flights, does anyone know if it is enough to upgrade one of the last flights with Cathay to first class?
3. Can I use miles from Marco Polo to get free flights from other OneWorld companies?

1. You can only use Asia Miles to upgrade on CX. (you can use other OW airlines miles for award tix, but not upgrades)
2. you can crunch the #s at
www.asiamiles.com, but I seriously doubt it.
3. From Asiamiles, yes. Marco Polo doesn't earn miles, just status.
