Hey all,
Looking for some advice for anyone that is familiar with Cathay Pacific / Asia Miles. I'm currently looking at a flight for 30th December, it's a one way from MEL > HKG. The flight that I want is scheduled for a 15:35 departure, but when searching on Cathay's website, it doesn't show me this flight as an available option to purchase.
I'm also a member of their Asia Miles program and saw that I can be on the 'waitlist' for the flight that I want, however I think this is a risky option as I won't know if I get this ticket until closer to departure date.
As I'm not super flexible on flights (trying to fly with a partner who has booked this flight already), I searched on Skyscanner and saw that Jetabroad and Trip.com are offering one-way tickets. My gut feeling is that Cathay are saving these seats for return flights, but should I have any concerns booking with the other travel agents, eg. being overbooked and cancelling my ticket?
Or is my best option to just go on the 'waitlist' for the reward seat and see how I go.
Very frustrating that I can't just book direct..
Thanks in advance!
