So far I have set up 4 WL "return-trips" on various dates. So it looks like the system does not mind that I have 2 WL on CX828 and 2 WL on CX826 on diff days.

Do folks know if certain days are easier for awards? e.g. mid-week morning flight leaving HKG? thx

The system doesn't mind me having 2 WLs on the same flight in the same cabin class either. Both waitlists cleared as well. :eek:

Why did you do 2 WLs on same flight same cabin? :confused:

Because you haven't got the return flight and:

1. want to waitlist two flights but couldn't be bothered to call AM/MPO; or

2. You want to waitlist six flights

I can understand two different flights, but same flights...

Well you do this to "corner" the availability.

Say it's 2017 Chinese New Year. Going to SYD is very easy, coming back is hell.

And say the availability is as follows:

28/1: CX101 2T OK

5/2: CX162 CX100 CX138 all 0T 0U

So with the first CX101 T seat, I create a confirmed CX101 T waitlist CX162 CX100 CX138 T waitlist (max 3) booking

Then with the second T seat I create a confirms CX101 T waitlist CX162 CX100 CX138 U waitlist booking

In my experience CX doesn't mind til I ticket one of the two T seats

Here's another pair of missing flights

2 May (last day of 五一 public holiday) CX766 1115 and CX764 1900 SGN-HKG is not available in Economy with Avios, only in Business.

The two flights are available in Economy with AM right now.

Hi, Percysmith! Need your help once again. I use the app seat alerts but I don't see the % chance of the wait list clearing.

My outbound has been confirmed but inbound is still on wait list. While I've called the hotline a number of times, they give me the same reply that they have no way of accessing / clearing the wait list. I'll just have to wait for CX's text message and email.

My flight is for May 12th, CX881, business class.

Thank you.

J9 C9 D9 I9 with only 17 of 53 seats allocated. Meaning it will clear.

But we don't know when. Can you book 10/5 for now and continue to waitlist 12/5 (fly 10/5 if necessary)?

Thanks for your advise. I'm now wait listed for both May 10th and 12th for CX 881. Hoping now one will clear. 👀

Could you travel on CX897 8 May if you had to? If you issue that then you can wait til departure date for 10 May/12 May.

Rebooking fee is a mere 1,000 AM.

Hi Percysmith, thanks for the suggestion! I called Asia miles and they didn't have availability for CX897 on 08 May but they do for 06 May. I had the flight ticketed and will follow your advise to rebook to 12 May on departure date (06 May).

You think I should wait list myself online for 12 May Lax-Hkg? Or just wait til 06 May and rebook? Highly appreciate your help.

No. Using the same booking, wait for 12 May. You need to arrange this over the phone.

Called Asia miles and arranged for the wait list on the same booking. Got the new itinerary in my email but cannot see it on CX website under manage booking. Thank you, Percysmith!

I'm not sure this is new, but recently I have found that as a DM, I can instantly clear waitlists. I just have to call and ask.
