Hi all,
I'm new to Asia Miles as I've been previously been using AAdvantage miles to fly CX get to China. Now I plan to use Asia Miles.
I've searched around but haven't been able to get a direct answer to my inquires for award wait listing using Asia Miles.
I'm planning a trip to Xiamen from SFO in November for my son and I. I see award availability for 11/13, but ideally I'd like to go on 11/10,11, or 12.
Questions...
Can I book and confirm the 11/13 seats and still wait-list my three preferred days?
Each day there are two to three flights from SFO, can I waitlist multiple days and multiple flights? I was told by Asia Miles customer service that only one waitlist was possible. This didn't sound right to me.
Assuming this is all possible, I would have to rebook by calling AsiaMiles and paying $40 per flight sector, $40 fee x 2 passengers x 2 segments per passenger = $160, is this correct?
Any additional guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help...

Yes

At most 3 flights in total per leg (so 3 SFO-HKG, 3 HKG-XMN)
Assuming this is all possible, I would have to rebook by calling AsiaMiles and paying $40 per flight sector, $40 fee x 2 passengers x 2 segments per passenger = $160, is this correct?
It will depend on how much luck you have - if you can make all your desired changes at once then you wouldn't have to multiply
Any additional guidance is much appreciated.

Will multiply - unless you can US$100 reissue in lieu

First two flights - none - you see y selling out. They'll cannibalise j seats to sell y
last - maybe j will be made available close in. But in close in they really may mean 6 hours

When did they change the max waitlist per flight to 3? I remember that I would be able to waitlist the same for for the entire week at once

and for am and gr, agents frequently only allow one waitlist/sector these days.

On the same segment?
So e.g. you waitlisted Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun on HKG-NRT (even if different flight numbers)?
I didn't know that was possible. Are you still a GR?

Wait, would that have been two PNRs or more? Then that sounds plausible
