I'm booked on CX 841 on May 15 in Y unfortunately, and if you know me you know I fly JFK-HKG-JFK many times. So far, I have a few observations/questions:

- The flight (on the seat map) is as full as I have ever seen them, and I am booking earlier than I usually book (I usually book in March). But this flight just looked PACKED.

- My seat has been moved twice. I took a seat around row 35 and I ended up being moved to 43 and then ultimately to 56 within a day. I have never had this happen to me before. This is also one of the first times I have not been able to secure a exit row seat.

Is this due to the new upgrades? My first Y class travel after making GO and after their "revamp" isn't looking great as when I was a SL with old equipment!
