Flights to HKG out of LAX are usually MTOW limited. If that's the case then the chances of getting on are slim, even if there are empty seats.

Might be better to consider YVR instead. Up to 3 flights daily with less of an RTOW issue. I'll pm you all loads LAX and YVR in a few hours. There's SFO too, but that's worse than LAX.

Really?? Perhaps 'usually' was the wrong word. How about 'quite often'?
I don't know how this gent and his wife fared, but in my experience getting out of LAX on staff travel can be a bit tricky, even if there are empty seats. I'd imagine it would be even more difficult for non-CX staff.
