Unhappy CX seats availability from Europe

Hi people!
Can anyone tell me? even few times ago - by searching the flights from FRA with CX throughout HKG - there were everytime a lot of available seats, even in business - now doesnt matter for which dates - no flights are bookable with CX - only Qatar and Japan are there, whats the f...k? or Qatar has owned now the CX ???))))) or are there any restrictions to fly throughout HKG?

CX has mostly stoppe offering awards from Europe a while ago, at least a month or 2.
Given the huge fares they now charge (like most airlines), awards seats have become very cheap for them.They'd rather have you pay over EUR6,000 than use miles accumulated at a cheap rate
As most pax to HKG HAVE to go there, they would rather lose a very few empty seats but get the hard cash.

Note that flying through HKG is risky as CX operates very few flights. They currently fly at most twice a week from FRA, and their schedule to other Asian destinations is als limited if you are a transit pax. Cause; HK zero-covid policy

I found that your best option is from MAN, the rest were just impossible and that was with me having friends at CX pulling strings for me.

I am surprised by your comment on Zurich.
CX "plan" to restart ZRH only in December with one weekly. If they do.
Their "partner" LX does not fly in september.
