Well, I'm a nervous wreck. I am travelling from HK to LA this coming Saturday (1st) and I'm still waitlisted on "A" class. Inventory on their system shows at least 4 "F" class seats which Cathay is holding on for dear life in the hopes of selling full fare to some poor schmuck who will fork out the big bucks. Meanwhile "A" class people including the scores who have bought RTW tickets have been regulated as 'unimportant' revenue. I have been calling The Marco Polo Club everyday (and every few hours) and screaming to a whole bunch of nitwits. Yes I am on Priority waitlist they say but they cannot say how many are on waitlist.
If I am already holding the equivalent priority of other airlines oneworld emerald status and it is still not clearing can you imagine other airlines' sapphire trying to clear the seat?
I suggest us OneWorld Emerald members bombard Customer relations email with complaints about this sort of treatment.
Meanwhile I can only wait....and wait... and wait.
