I am not stopping you trying but what you said here will not work - e.g. Youtube tips, dressing smart, asking at counter, asking again at the cabin... stories about all these could be found in this forum. CX's operation is just very different from others - even it may sound against your common sense.
PS. Free upgrade to Business Class from Economy due to medical reasons - in my entire flying life, I have only heard about once case - that was with MH.
ya, we all know it's not easy for airlines like CX ,especially free upgrade to business class, but actually it do happens for a reason and for those who dared to ask for it ( of course it's pretty much depends on lucks and you MPC level ) but since the poster of this topic wish to upgrade but not refund and purchase for a full new Business Class ticket so I try best to suggest him a few solutions ! Agree with you that d medical reasons will not take any effect toward the staffs but with an empty Buss seat, some extra charges and w or w/o MPC will help somehow IF he tries . Btw, it's not my common sense at all, youtube just d way to help me to cut the long long explanation of how to ask smartly for an upgrade/ free upgrade LoL.
P.S: I am trying to give d poster some hope and so do you , give him some of your upgrade experiences of your entire flying life ! dont you ? cheers !
