Seems like Miami makes sense long before Buenos Aires does. There has to be a lot of HNW private travel or business travel to make these routes work and I don't think Buenos Aires offers either.

I agree.
Plus, that would be a really long flight. Similar to the GRU flights they used to operate.

Any word on if they've released? Any way for me to check? Desperately want to fly CX in C in August to Vietnam via HKG using AA miles!

As in, on July 14 the ticket was booked in advance? How many miles did that require? I also have about 100K AA miles collecting dust for a number of years now...

Ergh - looking on BA's site, there is availability on the continuing flights (HKG-HAN and SGN-HKG) but nothing on TLV-HKG or HKG-TLV. I just assumed it was due to being a new flight, no availability released yet. I have zero experience with using AA miles or with booking award travel on CX.

UA to replace one of the daily 772s on the TLV-EWR route with a 773, starting May 5th, offering an additional 100 seats.
