Hi there, was wondering if you could help me out as well.

I am on request for two pax Y flights (return)

April 29th
CX838

then return on May 25th CX837

It's getting closer to my date, and I still have no confirmation. I am a bit worried and thinking my chances are slim (I am only green). I was thinking of just purchasing tickets then if selected for reward seats, I can just cancel my tix and pay the cancellation charge.

Sigh

The outbound flight may be overbooked.
Your chances look slightly better on the return:

KVS, thanks for your quick response! It seems that both business and econ seats are still good at the moment. We would like to wait for a more while till May to check. Hopefully we could get the tickets at last. Thanks so much for your help!
