Could you clarify "(DM vs SL)"
Award redemption availability is also affected by the status of the passenger and the Asia Miles sponsor (from low to high): Asia Miles member (AM), MPC Green (GR), MPC Silver (SL), MPC Gold (GO), MPC Diamond (DM), and MPC Diamond Plus (DMP). When my wife (a SL) had to waitlist for an upgrade in June, I (a DM) used my miles to secure the upgrade for her.
It may seem that availability should be higher for 77H because there are more J seats, but CX may already have put 77H at a time slot preferred by their J passengers.
