On the Waiting List for Premium Economy

Hi All,

So, I've enough asiamiles to redeem a return PE flight from London-HK-Cebu.
After speaking with Marco Polo, I'm currently on the PE waiting list for 2 outbound flights on 23rd Dec. My inbound seats in January are available, so I'm halfway there!

First question is: Does having the inbound seats increase the likelihood of acquiring the outbound seats and confirming the flights in full?

I also spoke with CX reservations who informed me that there are lots of seats available on PE on those two outbound flights Dec 23. However, the Marco Polo staff weren't able to tell me how the waiting list works, ie if there's a quota, etc.
I've just been told to hang tight for a month, and if I receive an email then they'll have a seat on one of my outbound flights.

Second question: What is the quota on flights awards seats, and does CX wait until very close to the departure date to release those seats?

If this has been answered previously, apologies - I haven't seen it!

Thanks
