Upgrade- how points are calculated
Hi team
i requested an upgrade from PE to J from LAX-HKG-AKL. My request went wait-listed and it was indicated that it would cost me 55,000 miles.
today, I have spotted that there is award seat available on HKG-AKL. I messaged CX and they have confirmed the upgrade from HKG-AKL and deducted 42,000 points.
if the upgrade from LAX-HKG is available, would I be charged only 13,000 points or another lot of 42,000 points? Any suggestions on how to manage this will be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
jacek
