Hi,

I am new to Cathay's Asia Miles program, therefore, I am unfamiliar with the whole upgrade system. I am traveling HKG-MXP late September and returning early Oct with my friend, who is a MP Gold member. However, when he called MP to request an upgrade for the both of us to J class using mileage, they said there are no seats available. The flight is 2 month away...do they release more reward J class seats as the date gets closer? What are my chances of getting the update (if less than 50% we are thinking of just taking a different airline)? How do I increase my chance of getting 2 seats on J class except for putting myself on the wait list (e.g. checking the CX website everyday to see if new reward upgrade seats are released)? Thank you very much for your suggestion/ tips!!
