I seriously hope if seats become available in next 4 months. Is there a waiting list option so that passengers get upgraded to J as soon as there is availability in J? I heard United has this option. Thoughts?
More than one person has found "courtesy holds" on airlines other than AA/US sometimes just disappear (AA codeshares). I would book it and get it ticketed if that's the flights you want.
