3) high at present, all flights you've listed are w9y9

@Percy, can you check the availability for my flight on June 26, CX838? I don't really understand how to read the legend. is P in the seat map available or not?
Thanks;)

P is priority. Still available but you need to call in and/or be an elite to sit there.

But at J1 this close to departure, you need a miracle like this to occur http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l-pricing.html

So being in the waitlist won't get me the seat? my deadline is in a hour and I don't think it will be confirmed. Will calling them make a difference?

But I already made peace with being in PEY still hopeful tho :D

No help. Not even DM can get J1 I believe.

Well, if something like my Rant 2014 situation happens, it's First Come First Served. You have to beat all those grAAbers and other AM/MPO members to grab the upgrade.

I read some members call (ahem) periodically once their waitlists are cancelled (but make sure it is cancelled first thru Manage My Booking - it lasts a bit longer than the stated time).

Waitlist on CX901
 
Hello there,

Might anyone have access to EF or other sources to see how this flight's loading looks in Y?

Waitlisted for this flight and confirmed for CX902 the same night however if this doesn't clear, then I need to look at flying in on Cebu Pacific and returning on 902 in J

When pricing a revenue booking, fare class quoted is B.

MPC status is gold if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Yikes, looks like waitlist clearing is not going to be optimistic

It's now J2 (after you cleared your upgrade). Someone cancelled last minute like my Rant case (not as many but just enough to get you your seat).
