I just booked a J redemption LAS-LHR for next year in june, currently we are both silver and have selected 2a/k. However we will drop to bronze in feb of 2015 and was wondering if we will be kicked out of these seats at that time. As ours is a redemption i dont think we can remove FF info, and was wondering if anyone could check to see if they are booted out if they remove there status from the booking if in the forward section.
Thanks, i would rather have upper deck seats if we will loose these closer to departure.

As a Phoenix resident now preparing for my Last First 
, a question occurred to me - what happens now to the FLounge in PHX? Does it truly now become a Gold Lounge? 
Now that F will soon be gone, my GUF2s have become rather devalued (as a business traveler who flies J)...unless I route through LAX, which is no fun given the scrum that is TBT security...

However, I could have moved the request back to 2AK but preferred 2A/3A which is what we now have.
Oo er.

I thought i'd mention here that as of the spring schedule 2015, the 86/87 YVR (summer only) rotation has F tickets. In fact, i've been seeing 5 F award seats available most days that i look. they disappear quite quickly though. the change of date seems to occur at 17h00 pacific time which is (IIRC) 01h00 british time.

This worked out quite well for us. We had 2 241's to LAS. Not really the dates I wanted but had to grab what I could get. Called You First and was allowed to change the dates to whenever I wanted and re routed via LAX so that we could experience the 380 on the return.
Also mentioned the inconvenience and would BA like to do something for us. Received an email 4 days later offering 10k avios each as a good will gesture.

BA no longer operate their own F and J lounges at PHX. BA now use the third party 'The Club at Phoenix' lounge, which is actually the old BA lounges. I'm not sure whether the separate F section is still operated.

This was a few years ago now but from comments on the board this still seems to be the case, hope this helps

On the issue of who gets to choose seats in the old F cabin, 1A and 1K still seem to be reserved for Golds. I managed to bag 1A for myself but it wouldn't let me select 1K for my OH. But 2A was acceptable.

No doubt, I'll find out as things change/evolve in the future...was just engaging in idle speculation (as FTers are wont to do
)
