I booked a CX flight ex SFO in late July, so I have been tracking the inventory. Early last week CX still listed 3 daily for sale for the month of July. On Wednesday they zeroed out CX851 and CX879, and changed CX873 to 3 weekly. As I was booked on CX851, I had been wishing they could remove those phantom flights out of schedule so that I could rebook. This morning I received an email from Cathay saying my flight has been changed to CX873, a day earlier. EF shows CX879 still on schedule and CX851 gone.
Cathay really should get rid of those flights with zero inventory in order for people to rearrange travel ASAP.
