CX170 is available on separate legs but on waitlist if searched on the 2 leg journey.
I'd assume CX would let me confirm 170 and wait for the last leg hkg-bkk to clear but was told whole itinerary needs to be as it's connecting flight?

No, can be leg by leg, unless married https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...-new-post.html
what if you create waitlist for HK-Bangkok leg and add CX170 by phone?

I want to confirm cx170 while waiting for the other leg to clear
Seems like flights with more than one leg always take a longer time to clear even if both legs are available separately

Newbie question here, but have searched the thread as best I can: I can see outright availability for CBR-MEL (QF, J) and MEL-HKG (CX, PE) and I am keen to book given I need to be on a specific flight (no Y availability on the QF leg, so I realise the whole itinerary will price at J rates - still cheaper than QFF). If I confirm and ticket in PE and waitlist for J, is there a fee to re-ticket in the higher class? Are there any other issues to be aware of - for example would my waitlist chances be better if I book the QF leg separately and the MEL-HKG leg is standalone?

yes
//is there any other issue
cant check thru at cbr. But how much time do you have in Mel? If lots, doesn't matter

3 J class awards on a flight ~3.5 weeks out opened to partners overnight while my waitlist for SO didn't clear. MPO agent was confused as well. First time seeing this happen

I'm 2 weeks out with 5/6 open seats in F and still no news. Good thing I have a confirmed flight the next morning if I don't clear soon.

That’s a bummer! I Guess an issue with timing since waitlists are a batch process (probably daily run?)

The agent was certainly surprised. Well, she also offered to open up a seat for SO on our desired connecting flight of choice (ha...giving it away...it's HKG-SIN A33P on Easter Monday afternoon, nice enough given the low seat count and 'peakness') but I declined as I didn't want to ticket and pay for SO's award just yet.
(to clear up the confusion, it's just SO connecting so that's why I grabbed the first segment from a partner alone.)

Is anyone able to help me check the situation on CX246 CPH-HKG on 11th June? There's currently 1x J award open but want to know the chances of another one opening up.
