Seems my only options are to either:

Unless my agent pulls a rabbit out of her hat.
As I mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if there are FC seats on the plane, so you might get the "old" FC seating, which isn't all that shabby
.
FWIW I rode in the new CX J HKG-JNB in December and did not like it
at all compared to the "old" J. Very confining, no view, and because of the flight schedule the FA's put out the lights early and didn't put them back on until we were over KZN. Bleh. YMMV of course.
