Question would be what class (I suspect H or I) is OP booked into for HKG-PVG.
Anyway, don't worry, my experience is no matter to however yield-trashing outport, CX will clear revenue waitlists before releasing award seats. I've done it a few times as OW EM and it never took more than a week (more like 4-5 days) to clear. So if OP has status, eventually it should be ok. Don't forget you can WL for 3 dates.
Anyway here's whats on sale now: BOS-HKG-PVG, POS US

this can jump up and down every week so you just have to keep an eye out. If the flight is empty (and not like HKG-PVG should be worrying), it'll gradually go up closer to departure.
Thank you so much for your reply. My HKG-PVG sector is class H and my BOS-HKG sector is class E. As it is a time when students are going back to HK or China, I believe the seats will be filled up shortly. As I am now waitlist on the flight, when will they confirm my seat or until go to airport to see if there is anyone not coming? I personally believe my original flight CX811 on DEC20 PEY should have been oversold. Does it help me to get a higher chance to be on the DEC15 flight. I am also just willing to voluntary downgrade to economy, but they say no.
