anybody know when this block is removed? I’m confirmed in PZ for LAX- NRT tomorrow but I’d much rather have a few hours sleep in Denver and take the direct. Kind of frustrating because all upgrades have cleared and there would probably be PZ space available if not for the 8 blocked seats

separate but somewhat related question. Would you keep the DEN-LAX-NRT or swap to DEN-SFO-NRT if the direct isn’t available? Trying to weigh the better Polaris seat vs slightly higher IRROPS risk at SFO despite a slightly longer connection (1 hour 25 mins vs 1 hour in LA)
