Waitlist question
Hi -
I'm waitlisted EWR-LHR on a different day from actual award flight. It looks like the waitlist has cleared as the reservation indicates a change. Am I allowed to hold both of these seats in limbo for a day or two or do I automatically get booted off the original flight, even if I don't call to have it reticketed?
Thank you,

How much do you trust SHARES? It will eventually happen automatically, but there's no guarantee it will go the way you want it to.

Nothing will happen in the next day or so. But you're holding up both seats from both an award and revenue perspective for other passengers.

He's holding onto nothing. CO's inefficient processes are tying up inventory unnecessarily.
