Question. If book LAX->HKG in F, and HKG -> SIN in C (because the HKG->SIN flight seems to not have F class), do I get to use the CX First class lounge at HKG while waiting for my flight?

Based on reports that I have read, I believe that you would be able to access the F lounge by way of your inbound F boarding pass.

This question for KVS Support...

I am looking for LAX -> HKG in F

1) Searching KVS/OneWorld for LAX->HKG, I get CX885: FS-
2) Searching KVS/OneWorld for LAX->SIN, the CX885/CX715: FS+ CS+ WS/ YS-
3) Searching KVS/CX, for LAX->HKG, I get CX885: FS+

The question is: would CX885 be bookable in F thru British Airways?

If you have a same day connection, yes. If you're stopping in HKG, probably not.

IME, you can't really go by #3. It may mean that it is available only for MP members. Best bet is to call BA and check.

The F award seat in question does not appear to be available (other than to CX's own FFP members):

Question for KVS:

Regarding CX first class awards, If I am interested in LAX -> SIN (via HKG), should I search KVS/OneWorld for the LAX->HKG and HKG->SIN segments separately?

or is it OK to search LAX->SIN? I always get MUCH better availability when I search LAX->SIN on KVS/OneWorld, and I am wondering if it has to do with CX favoring "married segments"? In your FAQ, you recommend searching segment by segment, but can you take a look at this scenario. See KVS dump below:

CX 881 doesn't appear to have OneWorld (as opposed to CX-only) F availability, even in combination with the HKG-SIN segment, as shown below:

Yep, I'm getting a lot of conflicting info between KVS/OneWorld, KVS/BA, and KVS/CX. The good news is, seems like C availability is terrific all across the board.

I have recently found out that the award classes and ID ticket classes for CX and KA would show up when using the Mobile Companion. However, I was not sure what "L" and "R" mean when they are in the position next to the class code (where numbers 0-9 show).

Any experience with Awards/OneWorld and Awards/CX showing different numbers of seats? Hoping to redeem AA miles for 2 F seats. Awards/CX reports FS/ while Awards/OneWorld reports FS+ for the same flight, same search.

There is an issue with the [Awards/CX] engine, which [erroneously] reports that there is no F Cabin on CX 873 ("FS/"). Please use the [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Method, which confirms that there are 2 F Seats Available and keep calling AA back until you get an agent, who can book them:

Well, when I run the BA search (at least now) I get no award availability. I still see FS+ for both 1/2 and 1/3 on flight 873 on OneWorld, no availability for even 1 seat on BA, and FS/ for 1/2 and FS@ (but YA+) for 1/3 through CX (2 seats).

I guess I'll have to just call again but just don't know if I should keep pressing if turned down...
