Hi, I'm on the waitlist for SFO-SIN roundtrip in business class for a March 2020 flight. My wife booked the same flight as part of our honeymoon and seemingly took the last availability prior to my waitlist.
What's the likelihood that I will be cleared here?

the direct flight will be much difficult to clear as they are Keeping the seats for last minute purchase.
Best is via SQ1/2

I'm looking at SQ32/33. SIN will not be my final destination so I am hoping to book this with the points I do have and book the remaining segment to my final destination separately.

If the demand is not so good, then they might release more seat.

I'm currently waitlisted on 5 First-Class flights during the end of January 2020. Ideally I'd like to fly out on a Tuesday but I also booked a couple Wednesday flights just to have better odds of grabbing one of these saver award seats. The route is LAX-NRT-SIN as well. I'm hoping to grab one of the Suites from NRT-SIN but I have no idea what my odds are of these flights clearing. Technically these dates are after CNY so I'm not sure if that matters. If all fails, I'll just fly Economy...., no biggie!
The waitlist is for 2 passengers; my girlfriend and I.
Fingers crossed!!

How likely are new Suites class Advantage awards to clear? It seems like Saver awards almost never clear. Are Advantage awards more likely to clear?
I'm looking at awards from Singapore to Europe.

Did you find any? For me, SIN to LHR new suite is not avaiable for redemption (Both saver and advantage) Not sure about SIN-ZRH route.

I'd like to pull the trigger on two advantage business SIN-FRA-JFK award seats, however there are two waitlisted seats available a couple of days later which is my preferred date. Is it possible for me to book the available advantage seats and still waitlist for the other two seats on my preferred date? I only have the exact amount of miles required to book the two advantage seats with nothing left for the waitlist

Thanks for your response. Good to know that I can book the waitlisted preferred date without the points being deducted from my account and still use my transferred points to book the available date. Not thrilled about the potential $80 charge for two seats, but I guess it is what it is.

For the flexibility offered to possibly secure your ideal dates while having a solid back up in place and in relation to the $ cost of two flexible one-way Biz tickets from SIN-FRA-JFK the 40$ each is a very bearable cost.

I got SQ833 Shanghai - Singapore in Suites waitlisted with supposedly only 1 F availability left on December 19th, but the seat map only shows 4/6 full. On the same ticket, I have a flight on December 22nd from Singapore to Jakarta also in First. Do you think that one "missing" seat might be an unallocated seat or even my award waitlist? Any ideas if this could still clear?
We are 3 people flying, and one of us is currently booked into Business but I would love my saver waitlist (53k Krisflyer miles) to clear.
