I called Cathay but because the ticket is owned by Alaska, they can't change anything. Called alaska and they said because I already completed the first leg, nothing can be changed anymore. Not sure what I should do because both parties have told me to contact the other.
Doesn't matter. CX has to reroute you as its their flights that are impacted by the typhoon. You can't call CX in advance to change your flights. You need to find out when you're at the airport or only what CX plans to do for you. If you speak to AS, tell them to put on the res that CX is allowed to change booking in case of IRROP. AAdvantage does that, and when cases of IRROP comes up, CX rebooks as per booking.
