During either November 03 or January 04, I was unable to get any First Class award seats on the following routes:

HKG-SYD
AKL-HKG
HKG-DXB

Most of the flights do not have 1 person, revenue or award, booked in First. I am Oneworld Emerald (through AA). Unlike CX, AA will not waitlist its members on CX flights.

When, or if, would one expect Cathay to make allocation on these routes? Certain city pairs like YVR-HKG had 4 award seats opens out of 8 total on the Airbus 340 so it is clear Cathay has made a decision not to allocate to Z class.

I will also post this site to AA and Oneworld to see if I can get any comments there, so please accept my apologies if you see it there as well.

Thanks.
