Looking recently for flights ex SYD to HKG and other destinations via HKG over next 6 months in J and F

What once was a plethora of CX availability seems to have disappeared in the last 6-8 weeks

Any possble reasons ( are CX no longer giving QFF's the seats they used to)?

maybe the increased popularity of their new J product and could be a factor?
 
If you have status you can ring them up and ask to get wait listed for awards. But I agree, normally CX has plenty of J and F availability!
 
Not sure how far out you are looking, but I booked a few ex-HKG F award flights on CX on the weekend for flights next week and there seemed to be plenty of availability for flights to LHR and CDG in F and SYD in J in August & September. The seats were be visible for booking online from a Bronze account.
 
Yes, I'm about to book 4 in the next week or so for QLD school Holidays.

Just secured 4 x J on CX100, late Sept (school hols)........14:05 departure (Syd F lounge indulgence) & the new CX J cabin - bliss!
 
hahah ok :) how many qff points did you have to burn???

Given I need to secure 4 seats (family) it was classic awards rather than JASA:( I did find 4 cheap JASA on QF127, 23rd Sept however, I'd rather have decent Flounge time (QF127 departs at 10:40:() & a decent J cabin/seat.

It does add up as I've just booked 4 JASA BNE-SYD to connect to the CX flight......thank the lord for ATO CC payments!

Not 5 seats? Did you send the M-I-L to the sin bin this time? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Good pick up:!:.....she is busy deciding if its time to move into a retirement village. Putting an offer on a place tomorrow & then has 3 months to sell her home & move on to another chapter in her life. Huge call for the old girl & a quick trip to Honkers is the last thing she wants to contemplate.

It's a shame as we have really enjoyed her company on family trips over the past 8 years:( The kids will have great memories of their Grandmother........

Had to wait a little longer however, just secured 4 x J for the return flight on CX161.

Seems the HKG-ADL isn't too popular:( available any old day of the week.

Therefore, the easy J redemption's on CX (exOZ) remain however, as I've found over the years - you must be prepared to book within 3 odd weeks of travel.
