What is wrong with Cathay? Alaska has

You objective on upgrades will not happen. Status matters. 10-15 economy segments is not going to get status with any airline. If over several airlines more so. Especially on the cheapest economy tickets. With non USA airlines always expect to fly in the class you buy. Even upgrades with miles/points/avios/whatever is hard. Have a read of post 2
