Cash vs redemption
Cathay nonstop, both directions, all four cabins. Each square = a departure date; colour = standard-award seats bookable (1–9+). Empty squares with a blue underline are weekends; vertical lines mark month starts. Hover any square for the weekday, seat count and mileage tier.
Geography pattern — % of bookable days with award space
All nonstop destinations, both directions. Where Business collapses to ~0% while Economy stays high, premium-cabin redemption is effectively switched off for that geography.
Business suppression index by region
Share of days with Business award space ÷ share with Economy award space (both directions). ~1.0 = business tracks economy (no premium gating); ~0 = business starved while economy open.
Free seats vs free redemptions — the unwritten release formula
For Business: cash % = days the cabin is sellable for cash (seats physically exist); award % = days redeemable with miles; release rate = award ÷ cash. A low release rate where cash is high means CX is flying the seats but withholding them from redemption. Read top (seats released ≈ as available) to bottom (seats exist, redemption withheld).
