3/16/18 - CX831

I would really appreciate it.

I am waitlisted on 2 3/17/18 flights, but I am afraid they will not clear. I would like to know the availability so, I know whether or not I will have to look at all other hub city's flights on that day (ORD,BOS,IAD,YYZ).

On another note, does anyone else find that CX cant book JAL awards at all? When I first booked this flight, I was trying to get NYC-TYO and BA showed availability, but CX said they couldnt see any seats. Same thing happened when I called today for 3/16/18 BOS-TYO, BA shows 3 seats, CX sees none. I am starting to think they cant book JAL at all.
Don't know which class you are looking for, but below is the availability. As of two years ago, I was able to book JAL fine if I can see availability via BA.com. Now JAL has switched to Amadeus, I would have thought that it would be even easier.

Next time when you ask, please specify the origin and destination of these flights. I happen to have taken all of them so I know, but otherwise I would have to first start looking at where the flights are going from / to before I can look up availabilities.
