Is it just me?
I just could not get availability shown on some dates and routes I tried, one of them being Nov. 1 NRT-HKG in business with return Nov. 15.
I get:

Hi. Yes, the cathay system has been returning that message on numerous searches recently. However similar availability tools can still successfully pull the Cathay flight info. You can access them at: http://flyaow.com/class.htm
Cheers!

Honestly I think many of the tools are hit and miss unfortunately. 
I've had some luck recently for Cathay flights on the Travel and Transport tool though (also accessible from that page).
Cheers!

I really miss that site.
Your site was even better than CX Canada because I could check very last-minute avaiability as well.

Hi,
FWIW, we found another backend that is working for now for Cathay flights (and many others as well): http://flyaow.com/classbell.htm
No idea how long it will remain operational, but for now it seems to work just like the old tool.
We also added http://flyaow.com/classbellmulti.htm to help with multi-city trips and/or open jaws/etc.
Have fun!

I think www.seatcounter.com is more reliable?

Hi,
I haven't done any sort of testing to check that, but we do have a link to seatcounter from http://flyaow.com/class.htm as well so that users can determine which ones work best for them. I'd be interested to hear of any tests that people do so we know which tool works best for what. I know for instance that the ITN Bell tool doesn't show AA availability at all.
Cheers!

As predicted the Bell tool is no longer functioning. But we have put up a new tool at http://flyaow.com/classamex.htm that appears to function for Cathay flights for now. Hopefully it will last a bit.
Cheers!
