First Cabins

Hi Everyone,

In the last few days and weeks, it looks like CX have reactivated a few 77Ws (including 4 class variant). These are being flown around Asia (PVG/PEK), and to LAX, JFK, BOS, SFO. Is F being sold again, or is the cabin being offered to status member J pax?

was booked on LAX flight last month and was moved to F cabin with J service 4 days before flight... but when they announced quarantine changed to 21 days for the US, cancelled the trip..

I tried to use BUD on my September flight LAX -> HKG and was denied, even though it’s a Boeing 777-300ER bird. Here is the first paragraph of e-mail:

Thank you for your request for a Bookable Upgrade. Unfortunately, we are not able to confirm the request because there are no first class services operated on your requested flight:

There is no F class offering currently and probably none in the near future.

I booked F awards LAX-HKG RT for summer 2022 just yesterday. I'll be curious to learn what service is as travel date approaches.

I have JFK to HKG in F booked for next summer. Crossing my fingers, but not a lot of hope.

Mid August flying HKG-JFK I was able to call and move to F seat w/ J service 48h before flight (probably could do earlier with higher status). Lovely flight. PVG-HKG also had F seats, but all unoccupied.

Are folks able to be moved to the F seats (with J service) because of MP status? I’m curious if OWEs be accommodated too!

I used AS miles which was absurdly affordable. I believe it was 50K for one way biz; 67K for one way F
