However, with the change to Cx Club Points, might there be a change? At least the fellows picture above implies so. It'd make a lot of sense if so....encourage you to buy the codeshare. Just i won't be the first one to try!
The CX codeshare on HKG-USM is consistently 2k-4k HKD higher than the PG fair. The justification to buy codeshare is hence debatable;
Whereas on HKG-NAN CX codeshare is only 1K-1.5K HKD higher than FJ, for 20 club points I think it's pretty straight forward; the Q is if the lower-fared class tickets are gone, and you're looking at 30-40 club points with a 1K-2K premium, then it becomes a no-brainer...
