Need 1 more flight to make even 100 on CX 747s

I have flown CX's 747s exactly 99 times, including 200/300/400 series. Just need one more, and as I need to get in a flight to Tokyo in next 8 weeks better get to it, to make an even 100.

F and PEY are completely sold out, there's 1 J and a few in EY....window seats are all taken specially on the 543.

This flight would be full of DMs, all the rest flyers will be bumped...

We should call and see if we can get a J, W or Y seat.

The announcements were public schedule updates, and the 30SEP/01OCT HND route as final 744 flight was made as early as February :

I guess they were "subject to change" back then.

Such a pity that we can't do seat guarantee in V class any more

For what it's worth I made a waitlist redemption F booking for the last roundtrip to HND, but I'm assuming my chances of it coming through are zero.

As a Gold member, I would be pretty peeved to get bumped out of my upper deck J seat!

In any case, J is no longer full and open for bookings.

Just threw in a few waitlist requests for some random September dates. Hopefully they clear some time soon and RM opens up inventory for partners too *fingerscrossed*

Able to get a M class seat as soon as I got the invitation email. But now I am afraid of getting bumped out as whole Y class may be full of guaranteed GO/DM!
