But hours later it shows up on both sites still. What am I doing wrong? At this point this all just feels like a large waste of my time thanks to the people that are continuing to gut what was once a wonderful airline.

Current status: Availability on BA and JAL sites but AS shows fake availability on the other flight which is actually booked up.

This sounds related to the change I was trying to make from Osaka mid-journey. Agent saw award F but JL didn't confirm the space so was unable to change to a later flight.
