Hello all,

I just joined the forum and getting to know Flyer talk a bit. I have been following this thread for a week since I finally accumulated enough Asia Miles to actually use. It seems this is the best thread to ask this question, hopefully one of you can help me out. I am currently on a waitlist for a PEY to J upgrade on a JFK to HKG round trip. I waitlisted using 70K Asia Miles, from what I understand, they recently have raised how many miles it takes to upgrade. The PEY seats are confirmed, just trying to get an idea if theres a chance my upgrades might clear, not sure if there is a way to check this. I called MPC (currently MPC silver member) but they said just to wait until the waitlist deadline. Additionally, on the cathay website, it mentions that if waitlist doesn't clear by August 10, 18, the booking will be cancelled, is this referring to the upgrade or my confirmed booking all together. Any help would be appreciated, much thanks in advance!

My Itinerary is as follows, my dates are not flexible unfortunately.

JFK to HKG 9/9/18 CX841
HKG to JFK 19/9/18 CX830
