I certainly do not consider these flight to be at peak travel times when demand for J is high. For what it's worth Expertflyer shows plenty of availability in J and Y, especially AC-792.

IMO the SE IKK benefit is virtually worthless if seats are not available under these types of conditions.
(J cabin)

May 22:
HKGYVR: IKK available
PEKYVR: IKK available (in fact regular classic inventory is also available)
PVGYVR: IKK available

May 21:
PEKYVR: IKK available
PVGYVR: flight doesn't operate
HKGYVR: IKK available

May 23:
All 3 flights available for IKK

So not sure what the issue is? I've also verified on the SE site that these shows up too. And no, inventories were not adjusted as a result of this post.

J demand comes in very close to departure date; so just because a flight is showing open in the J cabin at the moment, it doesn't not reflect the fact that there is low/no demand for J for that flight.
