Thanks Gianni, I really do hope it goes through. I'm hoping the fact that soon-to-be Mrs. MathNerd has a confirmed F Saver ticketed with seat selected etc will help my case, as I'll plead with them to let me go and sit (and/or lie down) next to her.
I keep checking every day, running a redeem search but Waitlist keeps appearing. I've heard that sometimes they release award inventory but Waitlisted pax don't get notified, so I'm running searches every now and then.
I also keep looking at the seatmap from the confirmed ticket, and only 4 seats are booked (plus the one we have that's confirmed). It might stay at this load all the way until the flight, it is a Wednesday morning red-eye after all.
Crossing my fingers that they can somehow link this waitlisted PNR to the confirmed PNR and the seat controller sees what's going on...
We've got one F Saver confirmed and ticketed, that redemption must've been the last seat they left "open" to redeem, so once we redeemed it then the next attempt was a Waitlist. Any way I could give them a "nudge" at all?
