Anything is possible within 24 hours! CX TPACs have had equipment changes to non F cabin aircraft months in advance. I think the question should be, "will CX be flying equipment with F on that route at that time?" You can certainly book now based on a pre COVID-19 schedule but I wouldn't count on your lottery ticket taking flight. I would anticipate changes to occur long before 24 hours as the time approaches, in which case, AS is issuing you a new ticket. It will be quite some time before all the stored aircraft get their wheels off the ground.
