May I ask how you accessed that inventory? In Awards & Upgrades, CX isn't an option in the drop-down menu of all the airlines from which one can choose.
One can go into a Flight Availability search and specifically look for Z or U, but the BA site seems to be easier than doing it this way.

Just tried ef flight availability on cx for z and u inventory iad/hkg. I t shows u with no number. Checked Ba for the same date(7/26/2020) and shows 4 business available. Don't know if that's accurate as BA often shows shadow inventory?

This is interesting to me for booking some CX awards from AS in the future. I searched a couple days around Xmas on EF: there are several Z1 seats on several LAX-HKG flights, but nothing shows up on QF or BA. I even tried a few married segments to see if it might pop up, but couldn't make any F seats appear. I don't have a CX acct, so if someone could also check that side it might help our DPs.

I'm looking at 1 Oct CX198
On AM it's U6 T2 X6 (I did trial and error)
On BAEC it's U0 T0 X0
On EF it's P0 T2 X0
Is EF U/P/T/X data meant to represent anything?
