For my trip this past May, since there weren’t 2x F, booked 2x J SFO-HND rt last year and booked HND-SFO separately.

While in Japan called BA to upgrade the return leg for the 00:00 GMT release, seats weren’t released on the dot at 00:00 so the agent put the phone down. At 00:03, saw 6x F on AA and 3x F on BA and booked via ba.com and cancelled the HND-SFO J booking.

Hope this helps.
it does. I am looking at F on JAL though if possible not AA or BA
Is the release from JAL one year ahead ? 350 days ahead? And the second release 14 days prior to the flight ??
