Also noticed that CX has now given names to its fare subclasses: Economy Super Saver / Save / Special / Core / Standard / Flex. And they are noting that advance seat reservation is available to all Y pax except for the cheapest fares.

My TA was able to get seats for most fares even in the past. However, many seats were blocked. I had to call MPC to release my preferred seat.
