DCA-ORD(desired stopover)-HNL-NRT/HND-GMP/ICN-Seattle/Vancouver-JFK-Shanghai-GMP/ICN-BKK-SIN-PER(not important)-AKL-SFO-IAD

Also, lots of talk on the site about different classes of service - so looked it up. So J class is Business and Y is economy. It appears that booking in J class does not require significantly more miles. So if J is not available and you book in Y, can you call back periodically and will they change you to J for no costs if seats become available?
