Does anyone know what happens? Does CX open up the F cabin to buz. passengers? Or does CX have a 747 with a two-class configuration?

e.g. on tpe-hkg with 3 classes but not many people paying for F price.
they open it up for J passengers.
perhaps elite, and celebrities, etc.
2 years ago, before the new F was installed. i got seated in F section with a J ticket., in a supposedly 2 class flight. they seat singer Kelly Chan as well.
last year, i was in an F ticket, the cabin was filled so i think most of the rest are were upgraded. again, singer Faye Wong, her assistant and her manager took 4K,4G and 4D. i don't thk her assistant was in F ticket.
your case should usually arise due to change of equipment. the only case (regularly 2 class eq. sold as 2 class) i knew was A340 to DPS (my experience was last year, before the new F), me and another MPO silver were seated in row 1 & 2, upgraded from Y ticket. while a full fare J passenger seated at the back. we didn't ask for those seats.
but these were 'pre-determined' upgrades, i.e. they knew Y was oversold before check-in.

pegasus, thank you.
I was just checking a flight and the equipment is showing 747. I later checked with ITN and to my suprise, it looked like anyone with a J ticket can grab an F seat. Rows 1 through 4 are open for selection on ITN.

My experience is that all the 747's sold as two classes have a three class cabin. It also helps to be traveling F on other legs. Or, go to the F check in depending on your OW status and ask.

Yes, CX opened up F seats for J class on those two classes Boeing 747.
I flew CX 530 earlier this month and reserved 2A and got the window seat in the F suite section. It is very nice. You got J service, but the F/As are trained for F class, as they need to use the F class galley for beverage and meal service.
