FYI, CX discounts in almost all of the markets it flies to. Sometimes even on the web. Check out those webfares in F/J out of Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy etc.
They discount out of Australia and the UK too (you just need to know where to look). You can get F from LHR to SYD for only about GBP 4200 from certain agents in LHR.
The only places where they probably don't discount is ex-HKG and ex-USA (at least the premium cabins).
