Hey all. I've been trying to go to HKG with my wife for a good 6 months. Had the miles ready for CX F round trip via Alaska, but couldn't make our time off work, and partner availability essentially disappeared starting in June. I finally decided to take a stab at the waitlist directly with CX a couple weeks from now. I was confirmed for LAX-HKG in J within 12 hours (waitlisted on Saturday, woke up to the confirmation on Sunday).

I'm still on a couple waitlists for HKG-LAX and wanted to see what you think my chances are? From what I've read there seems to be no rhyme or reason for releasing seats these days (unless you have status). When looking on EF, is it "I" that I want to look out for?

The fight I'm trying to get is CX 880 on 11/12/18 for 2, either F or J. Any thoughts on my chances and when they typically let you know if you cleared? I know there is a deadline, but curious if time the time has already passed since I waitlisted so close to the deadline (I think 11/1). Thanks in advance!
