Indeed it dropped on this date. The free tickets depart from LAX, SFO, and BOS. For those that queued, the chance of snatching one was slim (saw 200k in queue). There was however a loophole that got exploited by visiting the Cathay flight timetable and entering a discount code respective of each originating city. The codes worked for a decent amount of time and know some people that scored it. It's, however, hard to know if Cathay may rescind those that cut the queue. Either way, sweet sweet deal.
Was there NYC?
