I recently booked a SFO-HKG-DEL ticket on CX. I have tons of miles on AA/KLM which I can not transfer to Asia Miles. I however do have a significant amount of Starwood points which I can convert to Asia Miles.
Our tickets in the H class and I leave in about 15 days. Would it be possible to open an Asia Miles account, transfer the points and get the upgrade in that window? What is the typical availability of these awards; is there a way for me to check the upgrade award inventory? I am AA Plat (OW-Saphire) while my spouse is an AA Gold; does that matter?
