Yikes -- my int'l leg is on ANA. I think I may hold off until closer to my departure date (mid Feb) to redeposit/reticket on perhaps a new flight. Looking at Saturday departures from LAX-NRT/HND it seems like there may very well be close-in availability. Will see how it plays out.

The reason I ask the above question is this is what the "supervisor" agent suggested to me -- that I just bring all my documentation to the airport and see how it plays out through security. Or give up my lie-flat for Untied Y at non-saver levels. No thanks.
