Wow, I'm impressed and jealous! Mine will be 9 and 5 for a flight next winter that I'm already stalking, and there's no way we'd be able to get away with being in a different cabin. It will probably be a different story in a few more years when they won't want to sit with us.
I'm contemplating trying to find one if F for my wife with me in J with the kids for the outbound overnight JFK-HKG. 3 in J and 1 F seems potentially doable booking 331 days out with AA miles. If I can't swing it, we can do 4 in J or even 2 on 889 and 2 on 845.
