I'd say R2 is still worthy of a post.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

What is CX thinking when they only release F1 ?, are they forcing couples to buy the second ticket revenue ?

They're thinking they can sell the rest. Has nothing to do with couples.

Yeah. I was mainly wondering if the specific seat/suite selection would be poor for some reason etc.

Also if the value was still there with the $400 fees..

LOL

The value is there even if you get at standard rate. Saver is a steal.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Hope no one is hoping to fly JFK-YVR in the entire month of August.

Availability on CX in ALL classes:

Oiy.

1) Availability with CX generally gets better, not worse, as it gets closer in.
2) Every other month after August is filled with availability, at least in Y.
