Why isn't the AKL fare upgradeable?
On the subject of AKL fare deals...while not CX, I'm seeing a lot of dates with AA PE LAX-AKL non-stop for < $1,500 RT. Fall dates as low as $1,366.
from what I saw the CX flights were E fares, not W or R. The AA would only be 0.07 CPM but the great aspect would be the 15k e/w for an upgrade to J.
The EQDs are poor though, which is the main reason why these CX flights are so valuable.
