I have a $500 US voucher from CX. I would like to use this on a CX booking. Prefer SFO to HKG and back sometime early next year. Can I get a reasonable fare? What fare basis would I need to earn points and put them into my AA account towards status? Do I need a specific fare to upgrade? I assume I will need to establish a CX mileage account and have points put in from let us say Starwood. How many points for Y to C upgrade each way? Any help you can give is much appreciated. I did a search and early January 2004 is expensive on cx.com. I realize Chinese New Years is around. Thanks
