Avios needed for CX DPS-HKG
Hello,
Does anyone know why the system is quoting 37500 avios plus £18.10 for CX business DPS to HKG when economy is 12500 plus £18.10. Other CX routes seem to be just double economy as usual.
Thanks 😊

HKG-DPS is in Band 4. Band 4 (2001-3000 miles) is now 3x the Avios for business class. Has been since 2015.

If spending the extra for J, be aware that this is a route where you can't be certain whether you'll get the long-haul Cirrus or significantly inferior regional J product. You can check what's scheduled at the time of booking but CX can swap aircraft at any time.
FWIW I flew there and back last week and both birds were regional (773 out, 772 back). I was in Y which was pretty empty both ways so was happy enough not having paid for J, even though it's quite a long flight. Only ate fruit onboard so wasn't bothered about meals.
