A thread search revealed that, as of last fall, CX would hold passengers at the gate area at YVR during the stop. Has this changed? I assume this means that lounge-eligible pax are not even allowed lounge access?

Also, is there any type of arrival lounge the CX uses for premium pax at JFK?

i'll be flying CX 888 too, but only HKG-YVR and CX 839 YVR-HKG
may 23rd and june 18th ! hope the service remains

What does the Olympics have to do with anything?

since demand for HKG-YVR vv is that high, is it possible for CX to use 74A on this route (as 74A will no longer be used in Asian short-haul route due to the recent capacity cut) ?

Yes,probably but still no news yet , right ? the 77A can only carry about 300 pax and 34D about 285, but 74A can carry 380 , thats quite alot

I don't see any load problems JFK<->HKG. I've tried over the past few days to move my flight by a day or two, nothing available in F. And, FWIW, I'm on 830 (boarding in 50 minutes), -- EF seat map shows 2 open seats in F and 4 in business. Period. They've got to be making money on this route.
