Does that mean the one seat is empty, but JAL is reserving it for some reason? Flight's showing A0, so i'm wondering if there's a good chance an award seat might open up closer to date of travel.
Yes, JAL always block 1 F seat in case some VIP shows up in the last minute...You can't tell whether reward will open up for you...there could be people in line on the waiting list ahead of you...
