Just visiting from the UA board. I am Premier Executive over there.
I've been looking at the AsiaMiles award/upgrade chart. The mileage amounts aren't as different from UA as I thought they would be.
But if I want to purchase an economy ticket and upgrade to business on say, HKG-SFO, which fare classes in economy qualify for mileage upgrades? Is it full fare Y only?
Confirmable UA transpacific seem to "zero out" about 5-6 months prior to departure. How about on CX? Does CX maintain a waitlist once confirmable upgrades are "sold out?" I presume this is prioritized by either fare paid or MPC status?
Sorry - lots of questions, I know. Just fondly remembering my flight in F on CX and how the J cabin looked "not too shabby, too!"
Thanks in advance for any info you're willing to provide.
