I have been having problems with upgrading CX flights with a connecting flight attached. i.e. CX138 following KA626, CX does not allow upgrade CX138 because now they need to put the whole itinerary....
Does any one else has similar experiences?

Could someone with AS/AAdvantage please check CX807/26 September for an F award please?
BA shows one seat. CX shows a waitlist for either Standard or Choice. I am not going to bother calling up again to check for a seat release- rather spend the time on here. It was there yesterday, and they wouldn't release..i booked with Avios for a different date in that week, which was also available then.
Edit to add: Awardnexus showed the same seats as available through JL as well.

You know the answer will just be to remove availability for everyone? Don’t expect that the result will be a favourable result.

since the ‘ugliness’ of the post-622 world is more and more surfacing, you can probably say CX has triggered me enough to play a zero sum game with them. I don’t mind if everyone fails to redeem anything. The AA/AS game has existed long enough and I have no hesitation in torpedoing the ship!

Ive successfully done this for the HND route as I believed they just pulled partner and MPC redemptions for a large majority if not the entirety of flights after I wrote in to him and a few higher ups...one small step to success

The loading on the CX548 is super light and yet they won't release a seat for redemption 6 months out. I then asked for F redemption and they said no too even though it's F6 A6. It's pathetic!

Registered letters to the board, by shareholders (who there’ll be a plenty few frustrated ones of), asking for Masse to be fired?

actually, wait- let me do that tomorrow- G-CIVC, i’ll PM you.

I've actually seen/experienced the opposite before, whereby availability for a BA flight was unavailable via Avios, but available through AM. I don't know what the solution is, but this issue is hardly unique to CX.

Well, AM rolls up into 293 HK as well, right?
So if net net, it’s better economics for CX to release seats to BA- great for the stock!
But then, people need to re-evaluate how they value their Asiamiles.
In any case, lost any residual hope in Masse & Co. My email was just ‘valuable feedback’ for Asiamiles to resolve (note: that’s not the MPC), when he had claimed that that had been resolved, earlier, to G-CIVC.
Wrong as I might be, hopefully even, the boss of the loyalty program preferred to rely on copy pasted PR fluff for the most part, and not offer anything concrete on the remainder.
So miss Ms Sim!
