But, as of today, booking JL in J costs around USD1300, while it's USD4,000+ if I fly CX. Is it worth the trouble and money to try to reach Silver?
I'm based in MNL and I always pay for my tickets.
I don't think you should pay the extra $3000 for CX SL. Just not worth it.
instead you may wanna earn the missing CP via other OW partners such as MH who always has attractive deals in J.
