In the case of Business class upgrade, that's a $5,000 ticket (Dallas to Seoul) for "only" $1300, for example. Well worth it to be able to lay down and sleep on that 13 hr flight! Plus, they loan you Bose noise cancelling headphones, a toiletry amenity kit (slippers, eye shades, toothpaste, etc.). And if you can make it all the way to a First Class enclosed suite, they even give you pajamas!

I always fly CX and since I'm a ruby (one level up from basic) member, I get upgraded when the flights are full. I just flew from MNL_MELB last week and got upgraded to Biz class for MNL-HKG. Yey!!!
