For example, it is very restrictive - you basically cannot access these inventory at all through the call center, so it is close to impossible to make changes or tag on another sector, etc.)
The unlimited ticketing deadline is now heavily restricted and forces you to issue around a month before your departure. I am experiencing this enhancement first-hand as I want to change my ticket but don't want to pay thousands of HKD. Sadly this benefit is now limited to a very small group of passengers.
As for the priority redemption, I am unsure if it's still possible to ask for redemption seats from CS if there is V class. Also, I am unaware of changes towards the redemption system, at least not towards a DL/VS-style one.
