CAUTION - TURNAROUND
"One customer did have issues. Wang Guanran, who documents his travels on hktravelblog.com, had his plans to travel to New York on Wednesday cut short when he was prevented from flying by immigration officials in Vietnam... he was detained by Vietnamese immigration officials, who said it was illegal to return to his city of origin while in transit." - Source:SCMP, 2 January 2019

Visa Information: check out the Vietnam visa/VOA thread in the Asia forum. You can get either a visa on arrival where you get the stamp on arrival) or a "looseleaf" visa in advance from a VN Consulate in the US (which allows you to go straight to the immigration queue). There are sometimes lines for the VOA stamp and so the loosleaf approach can save you some time.
Seat Assignments
per NWPlatinum below - Cathay blocks out all seats except for 2D for some reason. I never understood the reasoning behind this but in any event just contact them for a seat assignment and they’ll let you have your choice. They like to block out seats for people with bassinets and babies. But you can usually get 2A, which is the best see if you’re solo traveler. Just say I want seat 2A and I’ll move if requested at the airport (never was asked to move)
Basic Visa Options for US Citizens
1. One month, one entry
2. One month, multiple entries
3. Three months, one entry
4. Three months, multiple entries
5. One year, multiple entries
Everyone needs an e-visa approval before boarding if they will enter the country. (e.g. clear customs). Connecting flights - even on separate tickets - do not require a visa IF IF IF the connecting airline has a counter in the transit area. (The airline may have their own rules.) Going back to the same country is not allowed without clearing customs first.
Expect the visa check at your point of departure. (Computer will flag your ticket.) The actual stamp is received on arrival (in most cases). (There is also the possibility of a visa insert with no need to go to 'visa on arrival'.)

Whatever the price is, if CX goes through with a mass cancellation, you would be made whole. What more would you be looking to get out of CX for?

you can assign different FFP per segment online when you manage your booking. i credited KA to AA since they don't earn on AS and cx legs credit to AS.

Help me understand then. If cancellation happens, you would like AS "to post the flight segments as if flown" - correct? I have one data point but not a mistake fare - successful ending of an original routing credit claim of not flown itinerary but lots of back and forth working with two carriers.

I would hope so though I recall the AF F ticket I got back in 2017 was cancelled without notice

Cathay is not as profitable lately and news of this little "sale" has already made it to SCMP et al.

Couldn't find my booking in the system earlier, six hours or ago.. Went to finnair, the usual place to add/change ff numbers on bookings, and pnr was looking untouched. The fact I couldn't see it on CX didn't look good but it must be somewhere if it allowed updates through finnair.

You should be fine, just point Orbitz to it. I've done this before with Orbitz, Priceline, etc. (cancel between 24 hours and the 11:59 time they give).
