CX doesn't even release seats to its own non-status members on black out days (as you said, Christmas, CNY and generally any HK public holidays, plus school holidays to/from UK/Australia/North America).

I have one Avios redemption with CX for 2026 - and that's for the wife's birthday. CX generously released the inbound for Sunday.
