Hi All,

We booked our flights to Japan for next year with Cathay Pacific, with the intent to upgrade these from economy to either premium economy or business.

However, it seems that we cant. We are told that there are no upgrades available currently (I can see seats are available however), and we should regularly monitor the website... Despite having the points I mightn't be able to use them for upgrades? I thought that if you had the points it was easy as upgrading and away you go? Seems a bit odd if not?

Also stumbled across the upgrade waitlist stuff, but cannot find that stated anywhere on the Cathay website....upgrades seem a bit like a secret or something with this airline...

Are other airlines the same, as I am considering cancelling the Cathay flights and going to SIA....
