Reward availability from HKG/PVG to LHR
Does anyone have info about what might have happened to the availability on these routes? About a week ago, reward availability was wide open in all classes for next August, but it then all disappeared at once very quickly (i.e. I looked 24 hours later and it had all gone). Is it plausible that every ticket got booked up in the space of 24 hours, or is something else going on here? Perhaps an IT error, or all the reward seats got pulled for some reason (the flights still seem bookable for cash)...?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Looks like all reward inventory has been pulled. Likely to be a temp reset, as they've done similar before. Will just be a case of waiting it out over the coming hours / days, as it should come back up.

HKG route has just been confirmed as axed Virgin axes HKG hence reason for reward removal. I wonder is PVG to follow?

Didn't see HKG going, especially as they had recently been sorting some marketing campaigns in HKG.
PVG has been removed from Seatspy for a little while now, which makes me think it is done already, even if not announced.
