Redeeming Cathay Pacific ticket using Alaska miles
I am trying to book CX872 from HKG to SFO in the coming 30 days. I found that this is 140k miles using alaska miles for a RT ticket in First, which sounds like an amazing offer. However, because I am based in Hong Kong, I have never flied Alaska Airlines, therefore this would require me to transfer my SPG points to miles and move things around (or even buy 40k miles since I am booking for two)
Sorry for the confusion, but I guess my question is just how likely can I pull this off? Especially considering that I am booking for this month and some of the points to miles transfer can take "up to 6 weeks"
Sorry if this question's been answered before.
