Upgrading on OneWorld carriers?
Is it possible to use AA miles to upgrade a coach fare to business (or first) on another OneWorld carrier? If so, how would this be accomplished?

AA's web site says upgrade with AA miles is possible on CX.
www.aa.com --> AAdvantage --> Using Miles on Airlines --> Cathay Pacific

I agree with Guy Betsy. The price difference between full economy ("Y" class) and business class is often very minor. In some instances, like very often with Qantas, business fare from travel agents is about 25% cheaper than full "Y" fare.
