Thanks all for your quick response. In answer to the questions asked: We are emeralds with AA and it is CX 888 on Friday afternoon the end of October. It's on a RTW ticket so alternative booking won't exactly work and I doubt that a RTW ticket is high enough revenue to encourage earlier clearance.</font>
Month end is heavy travel demand (for various reasons), and Friday afternoon is the absolute peak for the whole week from NY. Surprised CX allows any A seats on that flight. AA has MANY of their transcons that have 0 A inventory assigned! Even when EVERY seat is empty (unsold). Looks like CX is much fairer and more generous than AA.
