I just called Qualiflyer:
They can only request an upgrade IF you already have a booking reference. They are unable to tell you in advance whether it will be available. This basically means you would be playing a risky game if you want to book non-refundable, you might just end up in economy after all ! </font>

If you can find out from Qualiflyer which class the upgrade is booked in, then it may be possible to ring Cathay direct and ask if they have any seats available in 'x' class for the flights you want to fly. If there is good availability - you might want to try. If there is nothing, or they suggest waitlist, I wouldn't risk it.

the best way to be sure to get an upgrade is to look at www.aeroplan.de and then galileo on the sidebar.
to see if there are seats avaible in c for upgrading just look at the Z booking class
works great
two weeks ago a planned a trip to jnb this way and 5 minutes later de z class was corrected with two seats so its a good indication first look then book and then call
or you can book a trip online and hold it for 72 hours and then call and confirm your flight if there is availibilty
