Ok so I mainly buy j, I have a load if skywards points over 300,000 between my wife and I.

I want a j flight man to dxb on 27 dec and return probably in the summer. Zero inventory available.

How easy is it to wait list as a gold and how often do they come good? I usually pay for j but at over 3k per ticket for a short flight that I paid 1800 for last year I just refuse....
