Hi all

Have done a bit of a search on the forums for this but haven't really come across the answer.

Two of us are flying CX to Melbourne (return) in March 2007. We have confirmed seats on Economy (paid for with 45,000 miles each) and asked to be Business waitlisted for both legs (as that would only be 60,000 each total - well worth it I say for only 15,000 miles extra each)

Last time we flew that way, we were booked on economy and managed to get a upgrade on points at the Asiamiles desk about 2 hours before the flight. We had been business waitlisted but in the end a visit to the desk before departure and after check in was the way to go.

What I wanted to know is if there is any point in me hounding the Asiamiles desk over the coming months about the Business waitlist? Do seats get released or do we just have to wait until the day to see if our waitlist request is processed?

If it's of any relevance, we will both be MPC Silver at the time of flying.

Thanks!
