Thanks Percysmith,
for myself if am travelling for holiday in Japan, it is still not justified to buy everything last minute. Hotel, Car rental are far cheaper for advanced booking..

Any thought?

Japan's pretty good with LCCs? I use more Avios on Japan now.

(Not on red days, I buy some other full-service carrier e.g. KE).

I know

CX is a bxxxx holding last minute Japan availability https://forum.hongkongcard.com/forum...w/17278?page=5 . Solution: don't collect AM for CX Japan redemption.

Honest. You have to get a round trip which CX makes effing impossible to do.

No. I cleared the outbound of a round trip today. Inbound was already available when I started waiting.
Just to confirm my understanding of the following:
1) If I waitlist SIN/HKG/AMS R/T, and manage to get the outbound cleared with inbound still under waitlist, am I allowed to pay half of the miles required instead of 70000 miles ?

2) Am I required to have the full mileage amount (120000) to ticket the above itinerary if only the outbound clears first? Or can I just have 70000 miles to standby for ticketing?

No, 70,000 miles

You need 84,000 miles (70%) to continue to waitlist or AM will cancel your waitlist.

Apologies but not sure if this has been covered before. But is there a limit of flights that we can be waitlisted on?
I know as a MPC gold we are allowed 3 waitlists under each reservation. Let's say I am flexible as to the day I can travel. Are we allowed to call MPC and say waitlist for a particular flight (say CX138) for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday? And then call again the next day and waitlist for the same flight for Thursday Friday and Saturday under a complete new reservation reference?

Looking at a F redemption for HKG-MXP. Need 2 seats

1 Seats is available for booking. Currently F5, roughly how late do they release award space? About 5 weeks out at the moment.

Currently waitlisted across Y, PEY and J for CX 601 HKG to MLE on Dec 9, 2017.
Also J for CX 746 DXB to HKG on Dec 23, 2017.

Can I trouble someone to help check loading to see chances of waitlist clearing? Thanks!

Am CX GO but waitlisted for this while i was Silver (presumably the priority will automatically get updated in the system?)

Call them and make sure your updated status is reflected in waitlist priority.
