I've been keeping an eye on CX F awards from JFK to HKG and back in F for March 2010 and I'm amazed at how erratic the availability is. A few days ago I checked and F awards were available every Wednesday, Business almost daily, and economy daily. The following day all the F awards were gone, business was down to just 3 days, and economy to about 10. Then business opened up again throughout the month, economy and F went to zero. Now F is wide open. It seems completely erratic. I expect a few days to go away and pop up but this seems nuts. Is this normal? I don't see the same craziness on the HKG-BKK sector.

Anyway this morning I found availablity on the outbound flight that I wanted on the date that I wanted so I booked it. ^ Now I'll keep checking daily for the return flight.
