Why no TAO? CX954
CX has a flight from HKG to TAO, CX954, but they are not selling any seats on that flight for any days I can find. Availability is all Zero. Yes, I know it operates on limited days in the near future but even far out there is nothing even when it goes to daily. The strange thing is the flight from TAO to HKG is selling seats and has plenty available. Does anyone know why CX operates flight CX954 HKG-TAO but sells no seats on it but does on the return to HKG? TIA for any insight.

Hong Kong isn’t “other cities in China.” it’s a Special Administrative Region and is not within the perimeter of China’s COVID controls. As a result, getting from Hong Kong to the mainland is subject to different restrictions than getting between two mainland cities.

It's strange to me that China likes to talk about a "One China" policy, but it really isn't. Oh well, it is what it is. Thanks for the information patrickw and CXYYZ!
