Only up to four weeks in advance k3nnis - very hard to get award seats any more in advance. Unless
u get DM by Amex cent or otherwise and have them turn release seats

Ok thanks. yeah I should have mentioned if you are happy to book at late notice then CX J on that route is fine about a month out even without status.
Can I ask, if you have Diamond or even Gold do they release seats way out in advance for you ?

Haha... SYD-HKG is just an example to show the difference between MPC/AA and QFF... nobody in my company just wants to go to HKG to have a holiday. It's a fact that it's cheaper to redeem their CX J seats to Europe than QF J seats via Singapore (or soon Dubai) and due to their Amex DM status they are accessing a DM-only redemption inventory.

Gold? - oh who do you think you are?
Nah, it didn't happen to me at least - maybe I am not pushy enough.

Diamond - used to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...-diamonds.html
But recently there's been some problems with this unpublished benefit http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...n-u-class.html - not 100% sure of latest status.

Yea...I won't give up til you guys and gals do. And I signed up for my DM just out of spite, along with moving a few hundred thousand points to my newly arranged Asia miles account, hoping that on as many occasions as feasible I can "steal" that F seat from out under your nose!
If Allvest has enough MR to turn into enough AM for a tix, his MR has appreciated, not depreciated. Our AM has depreciated.

Oh yeah. You Amex DMs are moving in with hundreds of thousands to millions in MR. With Amex DM you might even get revenue seats converted to rewards seats. This is the gift that just keeps giving.

My Asiamilea come from miscellaneous non-Caanadian cc programs. Unless there is an insane promo I doubt I would turn Amex Canada MR into Asiamiles.

It is a personal choice whether to send a letter to CX. The thread is starting to get emotional. I removed some posts and am closing it down.
