My question is about married segments and how CX will block non stops/directs to HKG but allow more space for other flights. How will this affect me? I would hate to orphan a huge amount of points.

Another question is about booking from separate accounts. Can I book multiple seats with the same agent with different accounts? I would hate to see 3 J seats and book two with my account, only to loose the 3rd when I switch to my wife's account.
CX cannot be booked online with AS. All CX awards must be done by calling an Agent. No issue booking from both your and your wife's account. Keep in mind, any changes after 24 hours are subject to the $125 per person change fee if you don't have a waiver.

You can also check LAX, SEA & YVR if you can't find availability for your dates from SFO.
