Upgrade a CX reward on an existing PNR

[get me outta here]

It’d be good if that better connection came up so I’ll shall make a note to check back to see if the married segments drop. Thanks Mel-T.

Even if you were originally booked in F, that doesn't solve the married segment issue. The only flight CX is allowing for award travel is the HKG-JFK flight you are now on.

However, close in to departure (starting from about 2 weeks out, but particularly 7 days and again 2-3 days before departure) CX usually opens up their F cabins and will convert just about everything left over to award availability.

At that time the married segments may change or be removed, opening up more options for you (including the shorter connection).
