With this arrangement, I have these questions:
1. The USDM agent was unable to see any cabin other than coach, business, or first. In other words, NO premium economy availability even though the SYD - HKG sectors offer this cabin. FWIW, KVS tells me there are a few Y+ seats available for award travel. Does anyone know why USDM agents cannot access this?
2. I'm taking my chances that a business seat will become available on either or both the SYD-HKG-SYD sectors between now and late Oct. Also, my understanding is I will be up for $150 USD change fee if the seat becomes available - is this right and would it apply twice if one seat change is made and then another is made separately?
3. If the current itinerary holds, what lounge access will I be afforded for any of the sectors that are in economy - assuming I hold no status?
4. As this is my first CX first itinerary, I am wondering what difference there is between 777 ER business and first and is it worth the extra points?
As always, all advice and feedback is much appreciated...thanks all.
Cheers,
Sigh
