Does these generally clear if there is only a few hours/24 hours to travel or are they still pretty random? Will depart SIN so could even pop down to the ticket office if that helps?

Also I understand it is only possible to book a waitlist if you have the miles, but how about if you have a confirmed booking and you want to make a change to the date/time? Can you put a change on waitlist or would you have to cancel, redeposit and place new flight on waitlist?
