I was confident I could just buy an online QF ticket tonight, and just happened to check Webjet and they had stopped displaying the QF flight I needed, and I couldn't access the QF website!
In a state of controlled panic I went down to the local flight centre and successfully got a ticket through them (14hrs before the flight), so all is good except for the fact I am not flying business.
Not a huge fan of CX right now.

Slim. The W6 means J isn't exactly cannibalised now but there's not much buffer left.
Relevant only to you but not CX. In fact, CX would probably try to railroad you to ticket a one-way outbound, not release the inbound and force you to pay for a pricey inbound.

Hi, I am new to Asia miles and still trying to grasp the subtleties of this program. I still have zero miles on my account for now... I was planning to transfer some points from my Amex to waitlist a flight for 3 pax in economy on May 4th 2020 between TPE and NRT on the direct CX fifth freedom flight CX450 - one way award. I can see on expert flyer that all booking classes in coach are at 0, except B9. However, CX website allows me to purchase seats in M or K, despite Expertflyer showing K0 and M0... (one seat is about 250 USD, I would rather use some miles)
I know this is hard to predict, but do you think that CX could release 3 seats in coach using standard miles on that one ? I usually redeem BA Avios for CX flights (BA shows indeed zero availability for those dates), however, I like the idea of waitlisting flights using Asia Miles, although this means transferring from Amex 21000 asia miles for a redemption which might never come...
Thanks !

Forget about it. This is a very popular flight and also approach the Christmas travel period. Highly unlikely that they will release any redemption seats unfortunately.

No I won't bother transferring miles in for waiting on V. In fact I don't think it's a good idea generally - just wait til they make it spot available, if ever.
