the original poster is on a waiting list for a specific class of service to open up. "N" class could be a number of things on Cathay Pacific since each airline has their own letters for different classes of service. in this case i'm assuming their either waiting for an award fare to open up at the lowest amount of mileage or waiting for a discount business class fare to become available

for example on Delta F,J,C,A,D,R are all Business classes of service but at different fares, such as Y,B,M,H,Q,K,L,U,T,N,E are all coach classes of service but again with different fares.

all the original poster needs to do is either suck it up and pay the extra miles or pay the extra money and they won't be HL (holding waitlist) anymore they'll be HK (holding confirmed) on the cathay pacific flights they want.
