Hi everyone,
Fairly new to the community forums, this is my first time trying to book redemption flights. Hopefully anyone can share some advice/insight into this matter. Thanks in advance.
I've transferred my Westpac Altitude points to AM before the November depreciation change, hoping to redeem 3 business class seats from SYD to HKG (we don't mind flying separately if that means we can all sit in business) in early December 2019.
I have been searching for availability on AM, however they're all giving the waitlist option. When I search on QF or BA, both are showing a few J seats available (Not necessarily the direct SYD to HKG, most available flights are via BNE, ADL or PER).
I have attached 2 screenshots (1 each from AM and QF) showing some of the same flights on the same day.
I am wondering if CX has been blocking those standard business redemption seats? Will they be released anytime soon? Should I waitlist it right now so that when they're released I will be able to get them? Lastly, should I call CX/AM and ask them to book me on those "available" flights I saw on QF/BA?
Appreciate any advice or insight.
Merry Christmas everyone, and wish you all a Happy new year.
