Does anyone know what the logic of waitlisting is when there's availability on the segment itself?
Currently I have SQ861/SQ221 HKG-SIN-SYD booked in Suites giving me a rushed 1h connection in SIN. I saw SQ865 as being available the day before I leave, giving me a 22h connection in SIN (enough for a family lunch and TPR usage), but I was placed on the waitlist despite the fact the segment is available by itself.
What's the likelihood of that waitlisted segment clearing? It seems very odd, but the representative explained it to me as having to go to revenue management as I want to keep my SIN-SYD flight as is, and that the availability I see on the site is only for fresh bookings.
