So, you want to book an F seat, cancel at the last minute, and then use points to upgrade?
Many problems with this :-
1. After you cancel the F booking, you'd then need to book a last minute J (probably at Flex Plus pricing). That could be eye-wateringly expensive.
2. Hope that J actually has some availability.
3. Hope that there was nobody waitlisted to get an F ticket.
4. Hope that there was nobody waitlisted to get an F upgrade.
If you were hoping to have both a J & F booking on the same flight, and then cancel the F booking, then this would probably get picked up as a duplicate booking. One of the bookings would be automatically cancelled.
