are there any workaround to force the airline to take control of my ticket? Cathay did mention I could pay a small fee to pre assign seats... will this force the airline to take full control of my ticket?
Q or N are very low fare classes, they did not even earn any asia miles few years ago. it will be a big price difference if you would like to pay fare difference + change fee (if allowed), similar or even more expansive than buying another discounted business class i fare.

So the questions is, why would like to do it if you can spend less by buying another ticket outright.
