No, yesterday it was SGN-HKG for next year. Today, its HKG-SGN coming up in late November.

So everyone who is seeing downgrades is:

a) booked via Expedia and

b) flying to Ho Chi Min City/Saigon?

Yes.

I just got off the phone with Expedia, who called Hong Kong Airlines.

1) The downgrade is due to the change in aircraft. I asked to be moved one day before/after, but HX agent insisted the class of service will not be offered any day to SGN in Dec. So, I expect all inbound/outbound flights to be affected.

2) Expedia asked for compensation, but HX agent said there was none.

3) HX offered free cancellations if I would rather have the money.

My HKG to SGN flight is in Nov. I see Biz available the day after. Do you see still see dates for Biz available in Dec or do they plan to take those down? My return flight from SGN to HKG remains J in the A320.

Do you think they'll offer lounge access in Hong Kong even though our ticket is for economy?

my SGN Jan segments are on days still showing J.
when HX downgrades me, i’ll be pushing to drop the SGN segments and spend the time in HK.

Technically you should be able to use the lounge based on your class of service booked, because they are going single cabin aircraft, it shouldnt change your lounge access. Hopefully, HX will clarify so no ambiguity at the lounge in HKG or SGN.

Let us know how that goes, cause I would be very interested in that as well.

I have my outbound to HKG-SGN downgraded to Y right now, my SGN-HKG still showing J.

I'm in the same boat. I'm flying LAX-HKG-SGN rt in February. My SGN-HKG flight has been downgraded to coach. HKG-SGN is still showing as J.
Expedia also showed all flights as Economy but with the correct booking class code J.
Weirdly I also can't access my itinerary anymore on wikipedia since a couple hours ago. Says it doesn't find anything with my email/itinerary number. Hopefully that's just a glitch with Expedia.

Answers like this is exactly why the US needs laws protecting customers from alirnes

"thank you for your patience .but after we checked .due to the aircraft adjustment ,there is not business class on that day ,so it change to economy class . Sorry for your inconvenience,Thank you for your understanding and patience."

Anyone have luck allowing HX to terminate the trip in HKG or re-route in J for intra-asia segments?

The big lesson I'm learning here is the Expedia really sucks.

I'm feeling lucky that I booked through Priceline.

Sorry for everyone that has to call and deal with Expedia. Not fun.
