Not sure if this is a MU or DL issue (likely mostly MU) but I was disappointed recently to only be able to book 1 J tix for my SO and only a Y for me on a recent MU international flight. J cabin in the end went out 2/3 empty. For whatever reason MU allows only certain # of DL award tix per cabin and once it's gone it doesn't reallocate even if the cabin is empty.
MU agents wouldn't allow me to purchase it during check in, onboard they offered for a reasonable price but not what I wanted to pay.
