Hello everybody!

I'll be flying this winter VCE- HKG, HKG- BKK, BKK- VCE. When I try to book this flights something strange happens. I would like to fly outbound VCE- HKG in J class and inbound HKG- BKK and BKK- VCE in Y class. Will try to upgrade with miles one of the inbound flights. The problem is that everytime I try to book the system automaticly changes HKG- BKK flight grom Y to J class .
Now, I would like to know... the end of outbound flight is HKG or BKK . That is important for me to know because i'll need those outbound miles to upgrade. And since it takes time before those miles get to your account.... you know what i mean

question #1: The end of outbound flight is HKG or BKK?
question #2: How long does it take to get miles on your account?

Thank you so much
