Hi All, I just called Asia Miles with a seemingly simple question but couldn't get a straight answer so now I'm coming to you the people...

I'm on a waitlist for CX157 BNE - HKG in Business class for 2nd December and also 3rd December, only 3-4 days away now. I need to be on one of those flights.

They told me their deadline for releasing the seats (or not) was 10pm 29th November for the flight on 2nd December, and 10pm 30th November for the flight on 3rd December. Yep, simple and understood.

All I wanted to know is if they will sometimes release them a little sooner than that (like a day or two) as opposed to generally being the very point of their deadline. Wasn't asking for specifics.
Totally understand there's no guarantees, but just hoping there is a precedent of them occasionally releasing them a day or two sooner than their deadline. Today (Thurs 28th) would be amazing, tomorrow 29th would be ok if it was in the morning...after that I'll start getting very nervous.

From what I can see on EF both flights don't look too bad availability wise (especially 3rd Dec) but I might be wrong there as I'm new at this. Anyway it's coming down to the wire and I will need to know asap or else I'll need to buy an economy ticket so I don't miss out altogether.
