AKL/HKG - there consistently seems to be J seats on a Thursday ex AKL (per QF or BA) at or around 330 days out.

If you are looking closer in than 300-330 days out then you are probably out of luck. Though that doesn't preclude getting lucky!

I have the same experience though only started looking. One clarification: you are saying if you are not looking in the 300-330 day out range then close in is most likely to find? Or not even then?
