I’m just wondering if waiting for CX approach would give us mire chances in getting a better re-routing.
now we are one month away supposed flight: the later CX will advice her of changes, the more likely will they try to accommodate her?
It cannot be week 29. That is past.
If you meant week 39, that is very soon.
In any case, call CX. There is no Italy flights scheduled in September. Maybe with the change in country rankings, they might start one, but that is very doubtful.
Try to get them to change the award ticket to one of the OK route. Be very flexible with the date. If it were me, I would try to leave ASAP to preempt any change in country group.
But do your research before calling. Check if there are any award available on the routes that are OK. Be ready to leave in the next few days.
Plan B will be to buy a revenue ticket. But hurry before any change in HK entry rules.
Sad that your wife did not get vaccinated, that makes it quite difficult.
