I haven't seen the 33R on the KUL rotation before (past six months or so), but hoping to score one of the regional J seats this time. I've seen CX metal operating for KA on this route before where premium economy seats were available. Once these seats opened up before OLCI and I snagged a seat. Oddly enough, during OLCI, premium economy seats no longer showed for me and were unselectable. I was able to keep my premium economy selection from before OLCI though.
Thanks for the info on HKG vs outports. Will be checking seat maps regularly prior to OLCI.
