Had to book trip to Beijing on short notice for Thurs/Friday. Ideally want to come back on Friday afternoon / evening / night, but of course J is all booked up (and J seat guarantee doesn't work on KA flights). So either Y on Fri night or come back on Sat morning in J (staying in Beijing for the night is not a hardship... can do a dinner / night out with friends there).

Curious what your experiences are getting onto a Friday evening flight in J by waitlisting.

Thanks
