"I should have redeemed or wait listed all under one ticket at the time, correct?" Yes

"My mistake was picking up flights one at a time under different tickets? " Yes

"Could I phone Asia miles and ask them to put it under 1 ticket?" Cannot

Thanks percysmith, I'll know better for next time.

Hi everyone,

I am new to asia miles. I am currently on the wait list for a J seat for the following flights.

23 Dec 2016 CX509
23 Dec 2016 CX171

Would someone be so kind and check if there are any seats available? Thank you.

J9 and J7. Maybe the former

Thanks for checking. I have a silly question but does J9 and J7 mean that there's 9 & 7 seats currently not sold and available in J class?

Trying to figure this whole thing out. Looking for HKG-SYD on 2/10 or 3/10. Right now I see:

2/10:
161: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E2 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N0 Q9 O0
111: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E4 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O0
101: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9

3/10:
161: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O0
111: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O0
101: J9 C9 D9 I9 W9 R9 E9 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9

What does that translate to odds wise? I'm wait-listed on all.

That's more or less correct. Generally, there is unlikely to be award inventory if you see I0, particularly more than a few days in advance. For advance bookings, you mostly likely need J9C9D9I9 to have award availability, but just because you see that, doesn't mean there will be. You can always check the QF/BA/JL sites, and you can also check the CX/AsiaMiles site, although availability there is usually greater than what's available for partners. But it's something.

Thanks. What I take away from that is that EF is worthless. Great :).

BTW - I'm looking to book these with AsiaMiles so hoping the visibility (or lack of it) I see there is the most accurate I'll get.

Can anyone help with checking the waitlist likelihood for:

CX 105 HKG-MEL 1 Feb (J)
CX 135 HKG-MEL 1 Feb (J)

For some reason I've never been able to get a waitlisted seat to MEL cleared, even as MPC GO..

percysmith Nov 28, 2016 11:54 pm

CX 105 0 HKG
01/02/17 0:05 MEL
01/02/17 12:20 359
Daily
87% / 15m J8 C0 D7 I0 W7 R5 E0 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0

CX 135 0 HKG
01/02/17 19:10 MEL
02/02/17 7:30 333
Daily
74% / 23m J5 C0 D2 I0 W9 R0 E0 Y9 B0 H0 K4 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0

Seats are right but class is wrong though, because I seats are available for CX135

Hi there, I was wondering if I can ask for the waitlist likelihood for the following flight:

CX888 YVR-JFK 17 December 2016 (Economy)
CX889 JFK-YVR 21 December 2016 (Economy)

Thank you so much!

Yannie Nov 29, 2016 7:34 pm

Thank you percy! I guess I shouldnt get my hopes up too high just yet

Thank you so much! I guess there might still be some chance? Really appreciate it.
