I then enquired how often does it happen the agent's response was a very philosophical "well, you are very unlucky... 95% of flights are open to OLCI... there is nothing I can help you with on this occasion, goodbye.". That was it.
Hong Kong flights are notorious for being over-booked and hence probably why they do not release the flight.
