To make a long story short we were reassigned to a Druk Air flight a day earlier, thus destroying my precious one-year-in-advance-acquired-JL F award seats!! My wife had just read something about "willing things to happen," and she was sure we'd get JL F to NRT on the earlier date in spite of the fact we were now just a few weeks out. (The NRT-BKK situation was OK with C class, no F available on the rearranged itinerary.)

Well, believe it or not, my wife was right, and the two JL F seats magically appeared a week or so before our departure date! I'm pretty happy about that, as I would have been apoplectic if we had wound up in Business (or unthinkable coach) after losing our fabulous itinerary. So miracles do happen!
