Multi segment CX change to CX/KE online
I have a multi segments Cathay flights already confirmed in business class. I need to change my inbound (return) date but the only availability is Korean airline. It seems to let me change it online by mixing the two partners - outbound Cathay and inbound Korean. But I am getting a bit nervous about doing it online as I don’t want to mess up my current outbound flights (no more business availabilities online currently) even though I said to keep the segment as is. I am at sea right now and cannot call until in another week. Should I wait to call or take a chance in doing the change online. Have you done this is in the past online? Like to know your first hand experience. Thanks I’m advance.

Based on my searches on AS for CX award flights at the end of November, the phantom award availability is gone. All clear and pretty empty of anything, sadly.

There was real availability recently too. I booked two CX round trips in business class from LAX to singapore in November. But it does seem that everything has evaporated. However, I’m not seeing it on other partner sites, so I’m not sure it’s an alaska specific thing?

I am noticing the same thing with HKG-Europe this summer. It’s all evaporated in J in the last week. Seems to be a couple still left to CDG in F however.

I booked mine last Dec:
BOS - HKG in Oct and HKG to YYZ in Nov,
I would suggest BOS because of the number of availability for Business Class, I am in YYZ but really hard to find a direct flight, and only find the main cabin from JFK.
And check on the CX website first to avoid Phantom Availability, IF CX has them, AS might.

Is AS having an issue showing seats? I see availability from HKG->LAX in J on BA but that same day only shows Y seats on AS

Hm you're right. AA and QF only show main which aligns with what AS sees. I checked CX website themselves and they have J availability, strange that BA shows it while the rest don't though. I know it's slightly off topic but do you think CX own website is trustworthy or could this be phantom space?
