Yes. the J cabin on our flight looks 2/3 filled up. Dont care for F, just want to have a better departure time at midnight versus 10am.
It may be due to the annual Autumn trade fair at Canton (Gwangchou) but I would think with the Chinese airlines are now prying the US-China routes in large capacity, the demand on the transitional CX flights via HKG should not be as high as in the past, especially the touted high speed train service has much less than desired.
