I don't believe that I would be able to change to the HKG-JFK ahead of time without paying a significant upfare. Am I mistaken? The loads are decent though
CX and KA do oversell and op-up to fill their planes. I would try every combination that everyone has posted here at this stage. The Chinese New Year rush means flights will be full so the ability to recover when something goes wrong will be weaker due to lack of spare capacity on other flights.
