Out of interest, does having a BA status - i.e. one world status help with these bookings ?

No, the only OneWorld status that can help is MPC status.

And one time I had to wait until the airport and request the upgrades during check-in.

Got an email from Cathay today that the waitlist on my return flight cleared. Still waiting for the Jfk-Hkg flight to clear, keeping fingers crossed :D

Could anyone please help check the Y->J upgrade chances on CX738 on 31 December? We're waitlisted as lowly SL.

So I got the confirmation email, which says to use "Manage Booking". However, manage booking only says "Error
An unknown system error occurred. Please try again later. [E23000001]".
Is there a number I can call? I am not able to find anything that looks appropriate in the support links.

BTW, eventually got to the older version of manage my booking (involved JS hacking, fun being a nerd) which says to contact the Asia Miles hotline. I called that number (866-892-2598) and asked to be called back. I think I'm on the right path now!

Hey all,

Anyone mind checking my chances of getting a PEY to J Upgrade on CX 841 on 9/9/18? Called MPC to check if they would extend my ticketing deadline and no luck. They will only extend until 5 Sept, not until the day of the flight, this might be standard practice for them but I myself am not sure. If there is a way to extend the deadline until day of the flight, please let me know.

Much thanks in advance!

You already got max deadline for unticketed upgrade.

Ahh ok, thanks. Thought I had read somewhere it can be extended until the day of the flight. They did clear my waitlist on my return flight, still hopeful this one clears!
