Just to clarify :
- it was received by regular mail not email. (I received 2 mails, my parents also)
- it written A380.
- photo of the J cabin is clearly the new J. Don't believe there is yet the new J even on 777 to HKG.
In other words photos of the J cabin is probably not what you'll get.
They also mention that you have a mini car 3 hours a day, like this is something extra just for you... This is standard for all suite booking at the pen.. They should mention that you have hot water and soap hihi

Unfortuantely, HKG has been down to a single flight, A380, no more 777.

Indeed, 77W twice weekly. And CX seems to be dropping its second flight (A340). That is a big overall reduction in capacity to HKG nonstop.

And only 6 F seats, so more random. But at 90K (or less with miles+cash) so that is great
My news is that this is due to the retirements of A340; it should be replaced by 3-class (J, W, Y) 77W in January.

Very bad news for J awards. No surprise they were so widely available (CX offers up to the last seat available as awards in the few days preceiding the flights).
And only 6 F seats, so more random. But at 90K (or less with miles+cash) so that is great

90k round trip in J ? Seems Asia miles is "cheaper" than AA and better availibility.
Does the mile + cash worth it ? do they sell the missing mile more toward a cent/mile or 3 cents / mile in this option. Sorry for this stupid question, don't even know that this option was available.
