perhaps unrelated to that website, I am still marvelling over a redemption booking I did last night- it went through - yay!
And the confirmation email has a section at the end, aptly titled "Promotional Section Heading", a nice pic of the (not so) new 77W biz class (not the new new one), and a subtitle reading "This is Hotel Promotion"
a horizontal line to delineate sections, and,
Your sincerely,

I imagine it is being designed as a responsive site, which means it scales up from a mobile phone, tablet to a desktop. Without having to build separate pages for differing screen sizes.

Best practice is to design a responsive site.
Here is a good example of one
https://pittsburghkids.org/
Have the browser window open on your pc and then start to shrink the size of your browser window, you will see the layout starts to change, the nav vanishes to be replaced by a drop down etc
Then do the same with Flyertalk.com....

Whether it's new UI or old UI the most important thing is ease of use. The current UI simply stinks in that department. People go online not to look at cool images or cool functionalities. For an airline website they want ease of attaining information, reserve flight, and manage their reservations.

Those screenshots are verbose, bordering on speciously flatulent. Besides, since when could the CX website help you book tickets to events and such? It can barely book you on a flight!
How about beginning with fixing the simple things one used to be able to do, like get mileage upgrades, first?

Passbook on iOS7
At first, I always book CX flights on website. At the time 48 hours before each departure, I do online check-in. After online check-in, I visit CX homepage and sent myself an email about CX mobile boarding pass. An email has a link to QR cord of my each CX flight, so I can add mobile boarding pass on my Passbook.
In the latest six my CX flights, I could go directly to security check room without showing up in front of CX counter to get boarding pass. Also when transit, I just had to show staffs my iPhone with displaying my mobile boarding pass.
