4 days to go till my flight and no confirmation yet. I'm waitlisted (as Silver MPC) for Premium Economy Heathrow-HK on 3 flights: 22 December CX238 and CX250 and 23 December CX238. I'm already confirmed for the return flight on 25 Jan 2018. Pretty last minute to release redemption seats... Can anyone check and see how the 3 outbound flights are looking for the waitlist please?
