I assumed something in F or J would open up so I could join (I am currently on the SFO PHL LHR run with huge layovers and a 6 am SFO departure) but even with 7 seats open, nothing.

As I search close in flights for the rest of this month, there are zero award seats available for any date, even tomorrow. I remember seeing in a thread that BA would rather fly empty seats out rather than have too many redemptions... am I likely out of luck now that the 30 day window has passed?

Thanks all!
