AMEX now transfers 1:1 to CX Asia Miles

[Cbs]

if i have a bunch of miles in CX marco polo account, and i want to add miles to use for an upgrade, is the Amex to Asia miles the way to do it?

If I book CX J using Asia Miles and then CX F opens. Is there a fee to change from J to F?

I don't think so. If yes, the fee would be a mere $25.

Thanks, parents have a flight booked in premium economy and trying to decide whether they should risk it and convert the miles to upgrade. Any thoughts?

Does CX allow to put a CX flight on hold for 1-3 days until the miles post?

Very interesting. So if I'm looking for 4 award seats JFK>YVR in Aug, can I put them on waitlist with CX, then if then become available (email notification) they could be booked with AA instead?

Since when does AA make the same amounts of seats available as CX does?

Meaning when the award seats are available from CX, they would be fair game across the board? (ie searchable via BA)

CX makes more available and sooner accessible to their own program then to partners. Thus you can't assume that when it shows as book able on CX that it is book able via AA.

Thanks! Is that always true, or even more so as it gets closer to date of departure?

Is there a history of discounted transfers?
If yes: how much, how often?

Any benefit to booking CX award flights (economy) with BA vs Asia miles? (aside from cost BA-12.5k vs Asia 20k each)

CX has more availability on their own metal.

BA cancellation fee is much less.
