Thanks for replying. I kinda thought that but wanted to make sure. I guess I will check and see if Philippine Airlines upgrades. IF not, I may go ahead and fly my carrier to HKG then buy a ZED from HKG to MNL on CX so at least we'll arrive MNL together. Or maybe just go ahead and meet him in Manila the next moring when he arrives. I'd rather pay $120 for WBC all the way from DTW-MNL that pay $152 and ride in coach on CX (or any other carrier) in coach.
