So I would caution the OP to not get his hopes up too much and have alternate plans in mind. ALternately, if you really want CX, then accumulate all the miles onto CX...
I was able to find first class tickets on CX for various months in 2012 from SFO-HKG through the BA website. I don't have any specific dates in mind as to when to fly first class, just contemplating whether it is a good idea to jump on the BA 50% bonus.
