As most of you have probably experienced by now, the new "Elevated" Cathay website has literally made award flight searches all but impossible.
I've put together a userscript that basically forces the website to accept the old booking engine parameters, and I've submitted it to greasyfork for anyone that's interested.

The main features are:

• Search for ANY routes, not just those with direct flights on CX and partners.
• Bring back support for searching multiple airports in the same city (e.g. TYO, LON)
• No need to choose the operating airline anymore when you search.
• Results no longer limited to the cabin class you choose, cabin class can be switched as you please on the results page.
• Start a new search directly on the results page, without returning to the search facade.

EDIT 2022-12-20: MEGA FEATURE UPDATE! New v3.0 released:
Huge v3 update for the "Unelevated" CX Award Search Super Plugin!

EDIT 2022-08-29: NEW FEATURE! Batch availability search!
Please see further down at post #15 for details.

EDIT 2022-09-01: Bug Fixes
Please upgrade to the latest version 2.3 for a bunch of bug fixes. Among them, the most important one is that economy seats on certain airlines were erroneously counted as premium economy. Also, the availability count was incorrect for connecting flights, as it showed the higher number of seats between the two flights, rather than the lower one. The batch search feature is now no longer hidden by default, and does not require the 9 clicks secret activation gesture.




For desktop, you will need to have the Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey browser extensions installed, then install this script:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/44...rch-fixer-2022

Once installed, login to your Cathay account, and go to the new flight award search page at
https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...ht-awards.html

There will be a new search box at the bottom, where you can enter your origin, destination, dates, and passengers.
The search box will work on both the search facade, and on the results page, which means you can switch route searches without going back and forth.
Hope you'll all find it useful.

P.S. If you want to install this on a mobile device, you'll need to install an app like Hyperweb or Stay 2 - Userscript manager that enables userscript extensions in mobile safari and chrome. It's a bit more complicated to get set up compared to desktop. If enough people are interested in that I'll make a step by step write-up.
