yes same trip. i have about 40000 miles that are expiring end of month. If i don't use it then it would be a waste but if i book a trip on waiting list then there is penalty in case the trip does not get fully booked. that is my fear. My other option is to do two 1 way. a 1 way premium economy to hkg from lax and a business class waiting list from hkg back to lax what do you guys think. I don't know of any other option
