Award Availability on CX for 4 J tickets?
I was able to find award availability for two before flying YVR-HKG-KUL....
but is it impossible or not even possible to find award tickets for 4 people on a CX flight YVR-HKG-KUL? Anyone have experience in this?

Well..reason I asked here, is I am open to any routing available that will allow 4 business class ticket awards........JL, CX, seem to be the only option for me flying out of the west coast U.S. using AA miles...

If you are using AAdvantage Points I'm sorry to report that CX seems to have introduced some form of inventory control on AAwards unless they are either booked far in advance or close to departure.
I have been trying for weeks to change a CX Flight that is showing many days of availability on the CX Award site..but AA shows nothing

CX availability varies a lot over time, but it can be quite good. For instance, with the BA online tool I can see 5 J seats on lots of days for the SFO/LAX-HKG routes about 300 days out. Based on things I'm reading in the AA forum, it sounds like AA miles might not get you access to that kind of availability.
