One question for OP - a long haul flight is mentioned, so there would be meals in Y also. Did you have VGML requested for your coach seat already?

In theory, that request should transfer with you when you get the UG (though perhaps DL IT isn't up to the task). And if truly past the catering cutoff, then they would have loaded a Y VGML that you could still receive while seated in J. But all of this would probably make too much sense...
