In this case, assuming I really make Sapphire, will I be able to get extra check-in baggage allowance for this flight? I know that the benefit holds for purchased (in cash) flights, but am not sure if it extends to mileage tickets.

Thanks.

You can get the confirmation you need at https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_US/baggage.html, by selecting oneworld sapphire and redemption. When you redeem your ticket with CX, you can also ask them to add your AS number (while keeping your CX number as FQTR, R for redemption).
