New York it is...

I've been put on wait list for 5 flights to NY since the last 2 weeks. Among the airlines which put me on wait list are CX, SQ, JL and of course, MH. Whichever airline that can give me a seat in the long haul from the Far East to New York will get my booking. Very simple ya? And I was short of checking with Emirates Airlines for a place if I had not got any confirmation at the last minute. Pretty good service from Emirates too, I heard.

... and the nominations for airlines and flights that put me on wait list are ...
