Has Cathay started blocking awards to partner airlines?
« on: June 24, 2018, 08:51:55 PM »
seemingly no l/d flights in premium cabins are appearing on on any route  (HKG-Europe or NA) on QF or BA searches, despite the availability of "standard" aka saver, awards to asiamiles members on any number of dates. anybody have any thoughts? systems bug over at CX? something more nefarious afoot?

I noticed CX not showing up on BA last night but I chalked it up to BA's system. Have you tried calling in?

I just spoke with an AS agent and they said they are not seeing any CX availability at all, on any flight. Hopefully it is just some bug related to the 6/22 AsiaMiles update, and not a new policy put in place

I see CX flights available on BA but nothing on AS.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Correct, you always had to call in.

Date?
Just in case you're wondering, not seeing J, but definitely seeing CX Y on BA.COM several dates.
