I thought so too, but perhaps discretion can be given when there is an one-way confirmed journey? Or is this a good sign for clearing the return leg?

I am waitlisted for this, how are the chances? Thank you!

Final update: The waitlist to PEN didn't clear at last, but as an alternative, I waitlisted KUL and was cleared last minute.

To my surprise, I got upgraded from Y to J on a 77W on my return leg. Never thought of such a "big jump".

wondering if anyone could check 6th May CX845 (J class)? been waitlisted for a while. much appreciated!

J class is wide-opened for sale at the moment

much appreciated! forgot to say that i'm actually using miles to redeem the ticket, so does that mean i have a decent chance getting it? thanks!

I will add F is wide open that day as is PEY. Y is getting "tight", which would serve to help you score the upgrade..provided it doesn't get oversold by too much. Obviously still a few months away and things can change, but if I were betting I'd say your chances are nearly as good as they could be at this point. Certainly above 50pct.

thank you so much. will wait patiently and see!

Oh yes, should have taken F and PEY into consideration :p

Hi everyone I'm new here, I have been waitlisting since November for the following award flight, could someone kindly check the J seats status for me?

4 March 2017 CX254 LHR-HKG

Also, if one of my friends were to separately waitlist for the same flight (also on J class), what are the chances we would both get our awards?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately, doesn't look good in clearing waitlist for J...

Hi everyone,

Sorry but can anyone please check the J seats status for me as I am waitlisting for the following award flight below?

- 3rd July 2017: CX549 (HND - HKG)

I would be really appreciated if you could do that for me so that I can know the chances of getting an award ticket for this sector.

Thanks heaps!

Sorry for the ignorance, but what do C, D and I mean? I thought J9 meant there are 9+ seats in J that may be released for awards? Thanks so much!

C, D, and I are subclasses of business class. I believe (and more experienced FTers can verify) that awards typically come out of those buckets, rather than from the full-price J bucket. So, the lack of C/D/I availability means that it isn't likely that a waitlist will clear.

C, D and I are discounted business, if they are sold out, that could imply the biz cabin is very full and the chance for award is slim.
