So just to confirm what you guys have saidI should book entirely with miles, confirm one F seat and ask them to waitlist the second F seat. They should charge me for the one ticket now and the other will be charged when its confirmed?

If the waitlist doesn't clear then I will just have to make the other half sit in the back
Make sure (as both saad and I have said before) to secure a biz seat, which you can cancel once they confirm your second F seat. Inform them that you have done this also!

go ahead & book the ticket that is available....then call jp & speak with a manager....let them know you want to be put on a wait list for the second ticket....if the flight is not full then you should get it....
I think Lallyr is using miles to book a full award seat, rather than an upgrade...

Of course they will!

You will have to fill out the (Jet) award request form (either manually or online) and WL the second seat!
