Cathay End of 2024 Schedule Open
Hello,
Does anyone know when Nov 2024 onwards will open for Cathay? Trying to book West Coast to HK and noticed on Google Flights that flights end in Oct 2024.
Wondering if anyone knows when the schedule will open for Nov 2024 onwards, or if there is any pattern.
Also curious, does anyone know of any flight notification service that will alert when the flight becomes available? Tried ExpertFlyer, but can only set alerts for existing flights.

Is it normal that there is absolutely no award availability for approx. 3 weeks at the end of September until mid October for any CX flights (and QF for that matter) from Hong Kong to Australia?
I am looking for two economy award seats at the end of September or start October, but there is absolutely nothing available. Is that likely to open up later?

I havent checked for Australia, but they certainly dont do last minute releases for Japan.

Look at that big line of green (public holidays) in October 2024

The trip is 8 months out so I was hoping for any availability to open up, but that may be too optimistic even in Y. I believe there may be some public holidays in Australia as well at that time so I may have to make alternative arrangements.

And this all assumes of course that CX stick to their currently / soon-to-be published schedules.
HKG-DXB until a week ago was once daily (down from 2x daily pre-Covid). A few days ago, this became 6x per week. Now just checked again and it's down to 2x weekly.
Serious LCC (un-)reliability vibes. So sad to see...
