Yeah all separate PNRs and all one way flights

To clarify, what I meant about the same PNR was when "upfaring" or changing the booking class of an award ticket; the booking reference as well as e-ticket number remained the same when they reissued the ticket

However, when I saw the seat open up, I didn't use the waitlist, but rather, I just called in to have them change the existing booking to what I wanted

My wait-list cleared overnight...flight is in 5 days in F for those wondering. It was F4 until I cleared

Seat map looks good with 12 and 20 empty seats respectively.

Thanks

But still 1.5months to go, don't think CX will clear me until early May. But my inbound ticket was confirmed and need to ticket before 20 April.

Good that you have the right expectations. See if the inbound deadline can be pushed further.

one question about the CX564 HKG/KIX 8:10 14:50 which has a stop at TPE, it says it will be an 1 hour stop. Can we get off the plane or we have to stay on the plane for the whole time.

Thanks again

Why not create ten single one-way waitlists?


I've wait listed business class SFO-HKG-XMN three different flight combinations for four consecutive days starting 11/09 for two passengers. The system allowed this.

The first availability is 11/20.

Question, would it be better to book the first available on 11/20 and change the ticket if and when the wait list clears or book SFO-LAX-HKG-XMN, LAX-HKG-XMN shows open on a desired date, and change the ticket if wait list clears xSFO. Pros and cons of each, including fees needed?

Thanks, appreciate the help in advance.

One way redemption? What about inbound?

sfo to bkk Mar 22, 2018 2:43 pm

Yes one way only...

Couldn't find this question asked before... I'm a OWE with a paid biz booking looking to upgrade using my AM points. I'm currently waitlisted on 2 segments, do I keep my AM number (lowly green) in the PNR or swap it out for the OWE #? In other words is there any priority for OWE over MP Green? Thanks in advance for any insight offered. Currently both segments are listed as F5 (three weeks out); so I'm feeling slightly optimistic .

SFO-HKG-SFO First upgarde
 
I waitlisted on 873/30MAR and 872/07APR for First class upgrade. It says I need to contact MPC by Mar 26 to issue the upgrades. If the upgrade is not cleared by then, can I continue to waitlist till just before the flight? What is the time frame MPC usually clear upgrades? I am just a lowly Silver. Also does booking class affect the upgrade chances?
