CX F wide open now with 6 seats, but it's for a couple months out...

Then it's as likely as any flight to open closer in, unless you're flying for a major event like Canton Fair.

Why not take the sure thing and continue to monitor for the direct flight though?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Shame the return flight is within the 9 days.
Otherwise I'd be uber tempted.

Or, to phrase it better: glad it's in the 9 days so I don't feel bad for missing it.
