No. Cos I've sometimes issued Business outbound, PE inbound (or v.v.), waitlisted the PE leg for Business reissue and it never happens until close-in.

Hi there,
Brand new to this forum - I have following waitlist, can you pls tell me about the chance to getting my waitlisted booking?
1. HKG-CJU: 28 Aug KA326 / 31 Aug KA325
2. HKG-CJU: 14 Sep KA326 / 17 Sep KA325
And how late will get the waitlisted confirmed if somehow available?
Many thanks

Economy, thanks

Obviously there's some POS issue here. Yours is KVS?

For 14-17/9, the loads are both Y9

Many thanks

Im wondering what would be the better award to chose, companion award or a normal award.

Im booked in J and currently when selecting companion award, it says that the companion will be waitlisted.

Experience wise, which one would get cleared first and how likely will a companion waitlisted award get cleared?

I haven't done companion awards, but IIRC it was discussed somewhere in this forum that a companion award has priority over a normal award. It also requires fewer miles to redeem. However, bear in mind companion award is not flexible. It is tied to the revenue passenger.

Did you call MPC on the waitlist? As a GO, you should also have a higher priority over SL/GR/AM.

I did this last year while travelling from MNL - HKG - SFO and return and it took about 3 weeks from booking until my fiancee's companion reward was confirmed. But, there was at least 20+ J/I seats available.

I decided to go this route instead of buying two PE W/R tickets then going for the upgrade and waitlisting two tickets based off feedback in this forum that said companion takes priority. I hope it does. Otherwise I'll have an angry fiancee sitting in economy on my next trip :D

You may not necessarily have an angry fiancee sitting in economy. There are several other scenarios:
1. She takes you J seat. You take hers.
2. She refuses to fly with you.
3. She will not be your fiancee anymore.

:D:D

If I were you, I would go for 2 R and go for upgrade.

Option 1 is probably my best bet :D

But going for two R upgrades would mean it's on a lower priority than a companion award would it?
