There appears to be no Cathay J availability with Alaskan Air miles from Australia to Hong Kong and vice versa in the second half of 2021. Error message on all searches.
Is there any reason for this ? QFF shows availability with Cathay to Hong Kong and Japan.
You can’t search Alaskan website for Cathay availability, you need to call
Phoned Alaskan - no availability at all.
Typically, Alaska has less award availability than OneWorld partners like Qantas. Previously, the rule was that you would have access to 1-2 seats less than Oneworld partners so check how many seats is available as an award with Qantas. If they did fully block off availability to Alaska, then it’s a bummer I’m afraid.
