In HKG I was told F wasn't opened. It turned out to be a blatant lie, as I saw passengers occupying the seats when I got on board.
In CTS for the return flight I was told it was opened to status passengers only.

In any case I took no further action as I clearly wasn't eligible. And the reason given in CTS is probably the truth.
Now that I think of this case I don't know why they lie to me. I dunno if Cantonese people are simply deceitful, afraid they cannot disclose anything but the clearest black and white rules or simply wanted the quickest way to dismiss my request.
I think buying an OWS of an OW partner http://loyaltylobby.com/2015/07/20/u...s-requirement/ will be more productive than asking CX nicely.
