However, if you look at connecting flights often there is quite a bit of married sector availability. I don't know the rationale for the much greater availability for connecting itineraries tbh? Compare HAN-HKG to say HAN-HKG-PVG and you'll immediately notice a big difference.
Choice. So CX is equally shafting its own as well as partners.

Maybe due to recent events it felt the need to pander to PRC transit.
