Wondering if the smaller J cabin reduces the likelihood of clearing the waitlist. Flight is on a Wednesday, if that matters.

My wife booked a R ticket in June. Her outbound SFO-HKG late September was cleared immediately, but she was waitlisted on her return HKG-SFO (CX872 on 77H) on her return late October. Instead of changing the return date, I used my miles to upgrade her (DM vs SL) and was cleared immediately.

Are you flexible to pick a different return date or flight?
