Normally I would be like, why would I do an extra 3 hours of airtime, but considering it would be lie-flat all the way, PLUS my family would get to use the CX business class lounge in HKG (definitely would take the longer layover option) then it was a no-brainer for that amount of miles! However, I can't seem to find that routing anymore or price anymore, was it some sort of glitch?
If I remember correctly, Y should be 12.5K & J 22.5K. With dynamic pricing, 15K could be Y or it may be PE. I definitely have never seen 15K for J.
I have seen some anomalies on CX HKG-JFK. Some Y at 35K, some at 45K and some PE at 35K so I guess we can't rule out that 15K for J inter-Asia might have surfaced.
