CX Upgrade Order - Which Status?
Hi Forum,
I just wanted to ask the CX professionals out there which status is best to use to get op-upd on cx..
I.e Is it something like
DM
GO
OWE
OWS
SL
.
.
.
Basically, I want to know if it is better to input my BA Emerald (Gold) number or my CX Sapphire (Gold) number in a booking, for preplanned Op up priority.. I have been opupd on many CX flights, even from T class (redemption) with my BA gold card, so should I continue using this, or should I start using my CX Gold number?
Thanks alot
Miles

You could just leave your BA GOLD number in till at least the gate.. if you don't get UPG'd then then you aren't going to be .

I would keep your OWE number in the booking. IME, they have been upgrading OWE before CX GO members. I've gotten J-F upgrades on my past three HKG-LAX flights, however I have not gotten the F boarding pass until actual boarding when the BP reader spits out my J boarding pass.
