What does the availability tool say for Aug30? There are 3 of us on CX881 in Y. I'm OW Emerald (AA EXP) and the other 2 OW Ruby (AA Gold). Getting an upgrade for myself will be pretty hard since 1) I can't upgrade using miles or eVIP and 2) CX MCP have priority. So, getting upgrades for the three of us will be pretty much impossible. But heck, I'll cross my fingers.

This is the first time I fly CX on a trans-pacific route (I've flown TPE-HKG before) and don't know what to expect really. I know I'll have a PTV, better food and service. Do we also get amenities, extra goodies and the infamous midnight MSG-loaded Cup-o-Noodles?
