I realized it is still 7 month into the future, but every single J seat is available??? And if this were true, at what point might UA cancel a flight and squeeze everyone to one of the two other flights......
ORD-LHR is a heavy business route and most purchasers of Polaris seat will not be making their purchase decision until the last month and even last week before travel. 7 months out purchases are not indication of ultimate demand.

Very few Polaris booking are done 7 months out (except for major holidays)
