Has anyone have experience to book Cathay flight using avios?
I was searching Cathay flight using avios on BA and could see availabilities in Economy, PE and business class on a lot of dates. Then a few hours later every single seat has disappeared when I try to book. All the seats are bookable from both AA and Alaska site. Is there a known issue that CX block BA from award seats?
Thanks in advance!
Call to book, very likely IT issue and perhaps down to the fact that you looked at flights extensively. Happens all the time.
Tried online chat and was told there is no seat on CX
If the flight is soon then I think BA stop showing the availability as some kind of fraud prevention. I did think the call centre could see it but not 100% on that

It is for next year, really strange that BA won’t be able to see the reward tickets at all for CX but bookable on both AA and AS.
