Talk about pulling teeth...

I'm amazed by the helpfulness and, frankly, the endless patience of the FTers still helping him. ^^ I'm not sure I could have maintained my composure quite so well, from about 7 pages ago!

Edited to add: It didn't take him long for yet another request - you guys should start charging!

You've deferred the trip back by a year JUST BECAUSE you can't get a business class seat. Sounds like this trip really IS optional.

You better use the next 11 months to go raise enough cash for a revenue ticket, that way you can GUARANTEE yourself a J seat, and no more fretting about waitlists, award issuing deadlines etc.

actual deferral reason is really due to parents' work schedule, and also my revenue ticket (issued on 11/4/2014) can be re-booked free (class)

I will be going to Sha Lo Wan for some plane spotting tomorrow night. Do you want to meet up? I think there is a good chance we can catch CX251/255 taking off. So even though you can't actually be on the flight, you can still personally witness and take a picture of the plane blasting off to LHR

I'm sure it'll be quite a pleasurable experience for you..

This thread will last until next year. Can all of the DM on this forum please write a petition to Cathay and get OP a ticket? I think that might work.

What is there to check???
Do you think everyone on Flyertalk works for CX ticketing or something?
You have already subscribed to KVS and have the availability #'s.

Tip
#1 Try to book early (10-12 months out), or expect not to have confirmation until 1-2 weeks prior to your departure.
#2 Avoid peak holiday and dates where schools are just out / returning back to school.
#3 Avoid 251/255. Plan an extra day in your holiday schedule to allocate for traveling and waitlist for the afternoon flights instead.
#4 Check KVS from time to time.

Asking on here non-stop won't get you anywhere.

Do 30 Mar 15 CX253 or 31 Mar CX239/253
7 Apr 15 CX252/238/250

Redeem those first and wait for CX255/254

Can't you still do a companion?

I think you need to talk your parents off CX251/255 before you come back

This rule does not apply directly as OP is posting questions but not comments. However, repetitive questions lead to repetitive comments. I am closing this thread.
