The issue is how a reasonable person defines "any favours". To many of us, it may be reasonable to request upgrade for one. But "any favours" could really mean the entire family FWIW.

Otherwise, if they offer me 'any favours' next time ill just ask them for a peak mansion with an infinity pool. It was 'any favour' after all, right?
Well, too bad for CX to name "any favour".

As ridiculous as it sounds, it could be a mansion in the Peak (although CX is not really into real estate).

Per CX's policy for A-card - Availability of physical space, i.e. an actual seat is available at the airport.
