CX availability & schedule

Apologies but bit of a newbie question as never flown CX before! Looking at flights from HK to Aus early next March (ideally using Avios but cash if necessary) but from what I can see there is nothing showing post 23rd Feb 2027. Do CX have a specific days in advance rule for releasing flights as we are now around the 350 days mark so would have expected something out there by now?

In my limited experience the CX release schedule is lumpy these days. That is you can not rely on seats being dropped a day at a time, rather they tend to drop many days/weeks at one time. You just have to keep watching. Availability will also be better on Asia Miles vs Avios.

Theres no HKG - SHA availability from 1st April 2027. Are they dropping this route or is CX just terribly late in releasing schedules?

SHA is half a cash cow, doubt they'd drop it for no good reason

also the airline is notoriously slow for releasing schedules...
They didn't load their CSX flights post-2026/04 until about Feb..

Anyone knows when regional PE schedule will be out? Looking to book for October but seems like there is not much options.

Plenty of redemption seats for 1st and 2nd March on AM. If you cant see them on Avios then its own miles discrimination at play https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...l#post35899684

On a slightly different note, has CX confirmed the plane types for Sep yet?

Tks

Yes, CX has confirmed equipment all the way through to October 25, at 00:00GMT. Whatever you see in September is confirmed barring any unlikely changes later or equipment swaps.
