Yes. CX880 to LAX is assigned the 60s the majority of the time and so does CX872 to SFO when it is operated as an 11:45 pm departure ex-HKG from Mid December to Mid February, but will normally be placed at 1,2,3,4,21,23 when it is operating as a 4pm-ish departure and so does CX888 and CX882. CX838 and CX828 sometimes get the gates near the Wing and sometimes the ones near the Pier. I always take the train to a certain point to cut short the walking when the gates are 40 and beyond.
