If you want 2A/K, I would call Cathay no more than a couple weeks in advance, and plan to check in early. I've successfully been assigned 2K before, but on my current reservation for October I've been moved to 2D twice.

Also, the CX web page seems to show 1A/K as booked, even when it isn't. Call Cathay and request those seats, even if the webpage shows them booked.
