Or has anyone observed any other patterns, I called CS on Monday so has anyone got better luck of making more frequent calls? I doubt it is worthwhile to call often but clearly the waitlist is truly a waitlist even if the business class is practically empty.
I would assume there would be a sale coming soon but at this stage, only business saver and business seats are available so no campaign fare for business.
Called CS today, little less than 2 months before departure, after pushing it for checking (sounded like CS was quite familiar to doing it, maybe sighed a bit, in a good way from my view) upgrade cleared in 1-2 hour or so now Im okay with waitlisting
Actually 13/13 for upgrades with points and vouchers now, incl one HEL-SIN.
