still too early to tell, but right now I'd be heartened by what I see, particularly with CX826. So far this is what you'd want to see. Y class wide open, PEY pretty open, J class pretty open.

I'm waitlisted for business on the following CX itineraries. From everything I've read it seems like there's a decent chance of clearing; would appreciate any perspective from those more experienced:

17 April:
J6 C6 D5 I4 Y9 B9 H9 K6 M0 L0 V0 S0N0 Q0 O0
J6 C6 D5 I4 W8 R4 E3 Y9 B9 H9 K6 M0L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0

20 April:
J9 C9 D7 I6 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M8 L0 V0 S0N0 Q0 O0
J9 C9 D7 I6 W9 R9 E8 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M8L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0 O0

What about the theory that "I" class availability is a prerequisite for award J to clear?

That is not really a prerequisite. CX may release redemption to a DM even with I0. I fare also varies with POS. A round trip I fare PEK-HKG-SFO-HKG-PEK often costs less than a W fare SFO-HKG-PEK-HKG-SFO. So while the assumption that CX may not release J (U) awards without I availability is often true, it is not always the case.

Hi Can anyone help with looking at the availability for CX270 AMS-HKG on 23JUL? I am currently on wait list for J class and would like to know the chances...

thanks Blum, sorry but i'm not too sure how to read these numbers, does someone mind walking me through this?

Anyone able help to check the J award possibility for CX806 HKG-ORD on 27 April? I am currently on waitlist and also have an issued PEY award ticket. Waiting the J award to be released so I can upfare using miles (I understand I need to pay 10K more for cancelling the PEY tickets). Thanks a lot!

Thanks. May I know if this is related to my question on CX806?

A reply (supplementary information) to a different post.

So today I got a notification that my waitlist has cleared! Unfortunately, only one out of two has cleared- which is quite weird because my mom, the other passenger whose seat isn't confirmed yet, is the one who is a MPC member (joined months after putting ourselves in the waitlist, so I don't know if that still has an effect on it), plus I am only her redemption group nominee. Hoping we still get to sit in the same cabin, otherwise, is it possible for us to switch?

Some help & advice needed:

I booked two return premium economy redemption tickets for travel from HKG to MLE for travel 24 May / 31 May, and now wish to upgrade to business with points. I called MPC and was told that it's possible for USD100 per ticket to rebook + 26k miles. However currently there are no redemption seats available for the return leg. I also saw on their website that waitlist are available for the return date. Is it worth while being placed on waitlist? The call centre also mentioned that I will be charged rebook fee twice, first the outbound leg change to business and a second time if I get the return leg upgrade. Is this right?

Seems an it odd that Cathay is not willing to take my money and points...

Yes you will be charged two reissue fees https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...l#post22819023

Could anyone please help to check loading of 830 on 27 Apr? Waitlisting PEY to J upgrade...

Thanks~~
