First of all, it will be *very* rare to find those 2 seats - especially as the number of JP members has grown and are *actively* redeeming their miles - as well as Jet partners buying miles left and right and giving them to non-flying members as well.

Note that Jet's routes are not expanding as rapidly as their membership and/or the number of miles competing for the *same* seats.

Combine that with a possible reduction of award seats (revenue control) due to heavily booked flights nowadays, the seats are rare to come by.

Further, only 1 F award is usually made available.
I haven't called 9W yet since I don't have any miles on them but I will try Keyser's trick of asking for R to confirm upgrade space.

The reason I don't think 9W is offering 2 seats in C is because it seems very unlikely that most people would redeem only 1 seat (thus leaving another seat for that day).
