Hey there:

I have a super-quick question for you CXperts...

I have 35K Starwood Starpoints to spend. I'm trying to get an upgrade on CX between HKG and DEL...am travelling UA from SFO to HKG.

I can xfer the files into most FF programs.

The AA folks are giving me 2 different stories. One time they say they can do an intra-asia upgrade. Other times, they say they cannot do it. The NAm-Asia upgrade code is 25B.

The AsiaMiles people say they can do it, for 35K miles. More expensive, so less ideal than AA.

What's more: the CX rez people in the US have said that AA _can_ do this kind of award.

In case you're wondering, AsiaMiles says that inventory is available for my dates of travel. Further, the ticket is booked in Y.

Can any of you provide suggestions/ideas about how I could make this work on AA? Which AA rep is telling me the truth? Anyone have experience with Starwood->AsiaMiles deposits? (Note: I have a zero-balance AsiaMiles account).

Thanks muchly!

Gabrielz
