Upgrade award after waitlist close
What are the chances to upgrade award Premium Economy to Business using Asia miles after waitlist is closed?
I was told to call back every day to check for availability. Even thou i checked on Cathay booking that Business class ticket is still available.
I'm quite close to my departure date.

I can keep on try on try calling them everyday to enquire on the upgrade availability. However this is still very unknown.
That’s why I was checking if anyone had the same experience to get the upgrade last few days. My flight is due this Sat.

if you are sure J has seats, keep trying every day with hotline and worst case you ask your friend to be with you at airport... (if he's not in your city then never mind)
another risky move is have your friend transfer miles to you, but could be a case there's no J seat at airport in the end.

I’m thinking as well to place a upgrade bid but the starting bid price is crazy! In order to get a good chance the bid price is almost the same price if I purchase a business ticket.

I did tried to call less than 4 days for my first leg but they still said no availability. Now I asked them on my return leg which is 14 days later they told me that waitlist is closed. 😫
