Upgrades on Eva using CO miles...???
 

EVA is partnered with Continental. I know you do earn miles for Continental mileage program when you fly on EVA - subject to fare class purchased.
My question is : Can you use Continental miles to upgrade EVA flights? from Economy to Economy Deluxe Class....or to First Class ???
Thanks.

The same question has been asked today (by another poster) in the Other Asian airlines forum.

I can't paste the link (for some reason my internet browser does not display the thread number/ id anymore in the url - anybody can help?) so here we go again:

Basic answer would be no, you can't upgrade EVA flights with CO miles. The only possible exception would a CO issued ticket on an EVA operated code share flight. But even in this case I doubt it's possible and CO ticket on EVA flight are usually more expensive than buying it directly from EVA.

Here's the link.
