Hi Everyone.
I am new to here. I have been reading the posts for a while, but this is my first post on Alaska Air. Hope getting some help.
I have an award itinerary below:
Myself: booked via AS miles - 35K miles
1/24/2024, LAX 11:25pm — HKG 7:20am+2 on CX 881, Premium Economy
Arrivaling at HKG on 1/26/2024. stopover 2 days
1/28/2024, HKG 10:00am — DPS 3:00pm on CX 785 , Economy
Parents: : booked via AA miles - 22.5K miles each (2 tickets)
1/28/2024, HKG 10:00am — DPS 3:00pm on CX 785 , Business
As I checked the HKG-DPS leg, CX actually had 4 business seats avaliable. It's an A330 aircraft with fully lie flat seats, so I want to book it. 2 seats for parents booked via AA has no problem. AA website shows 2 seats left in business after that.
For myself, I checked the leg HKG-DPS on AS, it shows business avaliable, but when I try to combine the LAX-HKG leg with HKG-DPS, it doesn't show me the business seats. Only Economy + Economy for 30K or Premium Economy + Economy for 35K (which I booked already). I tried to changed the 2nd leg after ticketed, the AS website not showing the business avaliable. Called AS agent, being told she cannot do that as well. What I can see on AS website is same as she can see. Sad.
My gold is simply getting the 2nd leg in business, so I can get in the CX lounge in HKG with parents. My understanding is I should able to get it for 50K miles (Premium Economy + Business), technically?
I don't think I will have One World Sapphire status at the time of travel. I only fly DL to earn status.
I have DL platinum.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
