System upgrade progress.
 

looks like all inventory has been pulled from consolidators.

What do you mean by that?

Btw it seems the CX website is still up. I had imagined it not even being accessible. You can still click on many features, seems like nothing is even going on.

Expedia & travelocity searches result in no results.

CX booking is now offline:

Due to internal system error, you are unable to proceed further with this booking. Please close all open browser windows and try again

Now we have to just sit back and see if they can get the new system back up online by 8pm Sunday night.

maybe we'll even be surprised with a new website...or is that wishful thinking? :rolleyes:

expertflyer showing flights but no seat availability

Playing around with the Asia Miles website and saw this:
"Only fare classes W, R and E on Cathay Pacific are eligible for Premium Economy to Business Class Upgrade Awards."

but it still says YCL can upgrade to JCL with YBHK, i'm assuming this will go away soon though

Im traveling in F to Hong Kong on tuesday with an AA redemption. I wonder if American will be notified of any locator changes and they in turn will notify us?

Try the flight award finder on AM website. Round trip HKG-SYD require 50,000 miles to upgrade from Premium Economy to J and Y-J upgrade remain 50,000 miles...

Now when I try to select Y to W or W to J upgrade, it tells me "Your specified itinerary is not eligible for Asia Miles awards or oneworld awards." By the way, it is weird that the Y to W option is only available for round-trip, not one way. I hope they will keep the Y to J upgrade, though, as that is what I mainly use my miles for.

In addition, I also saw AB in Airline Partners Awards Chart, although the partnet page does not have it, yet. Since the chart does not have AB for OW award, I wonder if that means that AB will become a AM partner before joining OW.

I think as of now the old CUPID PNRs have been migrated to 1A. I booked a dummy booking that includes both CX and BA (who uses 1A) sectors through abacus before the migration begins. Now I can see the old CUPID record locator has been incorporated into the 1A PNR (from checkmytrip.com), which was not incorporated before the PSS migration.

On Facebook they are telling people with urgent travel needs to book with a partner.

It's on the partner page at the bottom corner. (Not in alphabetical order)
