Is it worth stumping up for F on HND route? Surprised no F on NRT route. So much more options in J from TYO-HKG if not fussed about F. Only 1 F flight a day from TYO

What is going with CX 520/521 in Dec? Seems that EF is showing it as a 77H with F/A class most days of the week, going daily 15-Dec. Would this be a good sign that there are reliable schedul of 1st class cabins, at least during the holidays?

Let's not have a definitive answer, to preserve the integrity of the sacred cabin ;) ;)

I believe CX made that announcement a few months ago, that NRT will have 1 scheduled 77H daily.

Do you know when CX will load the F inventory? F is showing up on paid fares but not award

First, CX is not obliged to and do not guarantee that they will release F award seats on every flight with a F cabin. That said, award space, if any at all, is initially loaded around the same time as revenue inventory, at T-355 or so. Additional award space may be added anytime between then and departure, most often inside of T-14 or so.

Any chance of F from HKG to BKK, already booked F from SFO to HGK but had to book business to BKK. Date is 1/14/18.

Too early to tell. Not to mention BKK can be swapped anyway.

I wouldn't be too concerned about F on that 2 hour flight. BKK is notorious for swaps even at the last minute.

But to answer your question CX will probably play around with the aircraft deployment somewhere along the line, so it's possible that F will surface on that day, but maybe not for your preferred flight.

I meant that it's still showing a A330 with no F on asiamiles at all. Compared with cash booking show 77W with F

Hope it is not the same announcement that said that CGK would have 1 daily 77H route. 2 months later, it disappeared from the scheduled completely.

Ewr F J Seat?
 

I just booked J from EWR to HK on 10/28. Original seat assignment was J cabin - when I went to look at seatmap - I saw 3 F seats available to select. I now have 1K. What happened is it possible that due to switch on 10/29 that this is a one off aircraft with F seats they are making available to biz passengers?

It's definitely possible, although it could also be some weird glitch - isn't 35G supposed to replace 77G to EWR right around then?

Are you an elite? In general CX is pretty tight about keeping F (or J) booked as the lower class to the last minute airport control or 48 hour out in favor of their MPCs, and OWEs at the last minute.

Would be a helluva score if so. I think something could be off though. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Can you see if the cabin map reflects 77H? If so your chances are definitely higher. If it reflects some phantom configuration - also happens from time to time - then it's almost surely a glitch.

yes I'm emerald/EP (earned almost exclusively on CX. Flight changes to 359 the next day on 10/29 - I'll fly it back (via Changi T4 :) in Nov) this is the seat map from Cathay. and I had my choice of 1A, 1D or 1K. Worried it's a glitch but figure the worst that happens is i get a less than ideal J seat (there's only a handful left per seat map)

I wonder if it's a crew related switch thing to send 77H on the last day of 777 to EWR. Totally possible, and possibly required by the weird situation changing to A359 and staffing differences between that and 77G. 77H requires fewer crew like 35G... particularly if they close F off to your chagrin.
