How so?

CX last minute availability on the premium cabin seats is GREAT for the North America - Hong Kong routes. SFO-HKG routinely comes up 4 or more F seats almost every day starting 7 days to departure. I have seen 7, 8 out of 9 seats are available. Incredible. JFK almost always have at least 1 F available on each flight, more often than not 2 or more. YVR, ORD and YYZ all often have last minute availability though not as abundant as SFO, nor JFK. Only LAX is very hard to get.
