What is the latest you can push MPC to extend a waitlist?
Got a waitlist for Y to PE upgrade expiring at 5pm today for a flight on Saturday (i.e. T-4). What is the latest you can push MPC to extend the waitlist deadline?
It's for the return sector (the outward already cleared a week or so ago) and looking at the availability pattern I'm guessing CX will only start releasing seats at T-2.

Upgrade one way? Still worth it.
Do you get refund of return difference for two one-way on same booking *upgrade* if the inbound leg also clears? I know you do for straight redemptions (ignore some misinformed Tsuen Wan agents who assert you cannot; I did it last month).

How far can I push Manila to extend the waitlisting deadline? It's currently due to expire at T-4 (i.e. today for Saturday inbound)

I dunno about upgrades but if I'm trying to reissue straight redemptions (e.g. issued PE return, upgrading segments to J or F leg by leg) then T-4 is correct.

Does it work if I buy full revenue ticket now, and if my award redemption clears at a future date, I cancel my full revenue ticket for a refund (incurring a penalty fee) and go for the award redemption instead? This is different from buying a ticket with the intention to cancel it in hope that an award spot opens up.

What's the difference between the former and the latter? You mean you aren't trying to hog up seats?

If I waitlist for a flight, waitlist seats clear, then I cancel the booking: Does it increase the chances that the seats will become available as award seats for oneworld and non-oneworld partners ?

1. Depends on your membership tier... But I've never got beyond T-4... You can re-wait / wait for instant upgrade at check-in desk
2. Don't think you can do so as you already have a booking with that flight... You can't have two bookings for the same flight

Many thanks!

Yes, in November.
Since it's not cleared you can extend a week prior to 1/8.

yes not trying to hog up a seat and to cancel it such that an award redemption opens up. Will only be cancelling my seat if an award redemption opens up instead. (so the award redemption spot would have opened up regardless)
