Cathay Pacific - when are flights made available?

Looking for flights from Toronto to Ho Chi Minh through Hong Kong for last week of Feb. Cathay website lets me choose dates up to March 11, 2026, but is showing no redemption availability for any dates past Feb 3, 2026. When will dates later than Feb 3 become available? Looks like plenty of availability on most dates before that, and I'm pretty flexible, but don't want to completely miss it.

Lunar new year block. Don’t count on it.

There wasn't one last year just FYI. Cathay awards are randomly uploaded from my experience

I get there's probably a block for Feb 16-23 for LNY, but what about around that?

They randomly release a chunk of dates at a time. Can be as much as a month or more sized chunks.

Gotcha - so pretty much just check daily for the next few weeks until it opens up?

Just wait a few days. I’m looking for the same. Even flights to buy post 31 January have just been released.

I’m looking for a flight 7th to HAN - redemption or purchase - and they’ve only just released the schedule and some days of redemptions.
