(Eventually bought myself a ticket to Shenzhen) The agent's response was "No problem, I will just make a note in your record."

I suspect I can do the same thing again? Call up CX Reservations and tell them I had an emergency so I can't do the WNZ-HKG leg, even if it is one ticket, but preserve the HKG-JFK leg? Do you foresee a big issue based on your experience? Was I super lucky last time?

Each situation is different. Maybe its because you're DM that CX offered to do what is basically not possible... ie skip a sector of the ticket without having the ticket changed / repriced.

So you may do what you think is best.. but be prepared if it can't be done cos it isn't official.
