I am looking for a dream scenario where I am able to upgrade for a cpl hundred $. Thanks.
The lowest fare class that is miles upgradeable is M. Cathay Economy fare classes in order are Y B H K M L V S N Q.
Also, you can only use miles to upgrade one class. So from Economy you would only be able to upgrade to Premium Economy. (Unless your destination has no Premium Economy)
In general there is no cheap way to upgrade to business on Cathay. If you want Business you will have to pay the fare difference, or at the minimum buy an (quite a bit more) expensive ticket and then use (quite a number of) miles to upgrade (and hope that CX releases upgrade availabilities).
