I'm wondering if I can learn any of the following from this:

(1) J travellers don't buy their tickets this far in advance?
(2) J travellers don't bother to select their seat at purchase time?
(3) I have a good chance at getting a reasonable LMU offer?
(4) If I had eups and a higher grade ticket this would be a great place to use them?
(5) This route is likely to be Rouged at some point?

This is mostly for curiousity's sake. If I get a really good LMU offer I may buy one for my teenage daughter, but the rest of us will be in Y.
I'm just hoping that with Y only half full on the redeye, 29DEFG will stay empty so we can recline without guilt.
