KA fly HND red eye to HKG?
It claims that KA will fly HND red eye to HKG starting S15...

CX / KA own website has not yet reveal this flight despite that S15 flight time has been updated for existing flight... Any brothers have access to KVS to check if there's such flight in system?
p.s. If it's real, assume landing on time at 23:30, would it be possible to rush out for the last train departure at around 24:00 ?

Still doesn't answer why this is a KA operated flight and not CX... fleet restriction perhaps but one would assume you want those new flat beds in business class as opposed to KA "business" class which is on par at best with premium economy in CX for redeye flight back...
the departure time from HK at 6:30pm is perfect for business travellers... Maybe they view this as leisure heavy route. But flying this on KA flag introduces checkin/reservation/ticketing burden for Tokyo.

Using an A320 as well so really catered towards Y pax.
Maybe CX is getting heavily overbooked in Y on CX542 and wanted to cater to this demand but not with another widebody? Or perhaps CX has run out of spare aircraft?
