Waitlisted award J ticket - switch dates?
Hi, I'm currently waitlisted for an award J ticket for JFK-HKG in mid December, which was booked before the increase in award ticket costs in June. I now have to change my dates to earlier, and in fact the dates that I'm interested in have award availability. If I switch, will I be able to preserve the lower cost or do I have to pay the new higher rate? Thank you very much in advance.

Hijacking this thread as I am in a similar situation to OP.
In my case, I managed to redeem SIN-HKG-JFK/EWR-HKG-SIN at the old lower return rate of 145k a pop; this is a confirmed and ticketed reservation. If I wanted to change the return sectors so that we would fly out of JFK instead of EWR, could I do that without any extra cost in either fees or miles? I am currently waitlisted on one such flight ex-JFK on a different reservation, and there is also outright availability for redemption on JFK-HKG-SIN one day after my current departure date.

If you can change it online, then it cost you 1000miles or $25USD, but I think CX system does not Recognize EWR and JFK are both New York City in the system, so you may have to call Asia miles/Macro Polo Club to change for you, and it would cost more which is 4000 miles or $40 USD
hnd-->nrt will certainly be a reissue

you may be probably right, because my award ticket is HKG>EWR then JFK>HKG, and I only change the date for JFK, sorry if I provided the wrong information
