Actually I do it regularly for my friend who travels BKK-YYZ to study 2x year. On all 4 occasions I have helped I have managed to get CX J seat. Usually booking in the week before departure up until the day before departure. As long as you are flexible and can book last minute then it is possible. Obviously also depends what time of year you are flying too (last time I booked was mid/end of November).
