Hi. I could do with a bit of advice. We're booked on a flight from DUS to PER via SIN in business (2 pax) later this week, DUS being all that was available from Europe within a couple of days of our ideal date - and it's a very long layover whilst we'd rather get there ASAP to boot. We've been waitlisted on 9 other flights from DUS, LHR, FRA and AMS for 4+ months now and nothing has cleared. My f-i-l is in hospital so we'd rather put the flights back a few days, but as far as I can see, there is not a single flight bookable from Europe (for 2) to PER on 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 July. I'd have to cancel the currently booked suboptimal DUS flight to get on waitlists for those days as I don't have enough miles otherwise. Every Krisflyer flight I've waitlisted previously has cleared at the latest a few days before the flight, so I was hopeful of getting something (particularly as I have now made silver), but I spoke to CS today and they said the two best options on the current waitlist (from LHR) are highly unlikely to clear. I don't know what to do now. Is there any reason I am missing why waitlists from Europe to PER aren't clearing (for me anyway) at present?
