I'm struggling for a leg in April (y to j) I've given up on it now and will use point for f. It's much easier to get j to f than y to j these days. Ek is holding onto d class and z class because they are selling them out. I've seen cases where there is j class seats but they don't open them up because they need them for op ups. I've stopped asking now. I know this is the case and more often than not get the op up for free. Great for golds and plats not so much for the rest with miles to burn....
