ETA: Or is this something AS needs to look at segment by segment rather than CMB-JFK? So search CMB-HKG then search HKG-JFK before putting them together? I don't know any help or answer (blocking?) would be appreciated.
Almost certainly BA is showing phantom availability... I can guarantee that there is not 7+ available business class seats on any HKG-JFK flight. I suggest using an alternate search method to confirm what you see on BA (like QF or JL) and search segment-by-segment as well as through flights.
