I know people complain about lack of reward seats, but I have to say I have usually been able to get what I have wanted with the one notable time when I had to go to South Africa in F instead of California - life is such a ..... at times! . Anyway, today, after talking to my lady friend about options for my birthday (1st of May if you want to send a card ) I said I would look at availabity in F to JFK on 27 April and returning on 4th May - hey presto and bingo, seats were available and subsequently booked! ^ 1A&K selected as well.
