I hesitated for several days and booked last night, ticket issued in few seconds and shown under my cx bookings as I class, tickets was issued by "cathay dragon", not as a code share or anything.

So it seems that Cathay Dragon is selling some of CX ticket at almost half price (before tax)
my SG based friend found the same rate on the CX website, but you need to find the specific page that has the promo fare...I couldn't find it last night though, but i was trying it on my iPhone, so maybe a desktop version would provide the proper page where you can book this particular rate.
