Mind you, at that time of night, everything in the international departures area in YVR is shut down. They even turn off a lot of the lights!

I've only ever flown the YVR-HKG portion of CX889, but when I was boarding I remember seeing a bunch of tired looking people (sheep?) stuck in the holding room by the gate.
I think it is consistent (and has been for quite some time) that you get booted off going to JFK, but must stay on going to HKG.
