The LAX-NAN, NAN-LAX flights are with Fiji Air and in J. That's the good news. The domestic flights are in economy as AA had no upgrades available.
Not only that none of the 4 daily direct BOS-LAX flights had availability.

My ultimate goal would be getting on one of the direct flights to LAX in business.
Aside from that, at least get into First on the four domestic flights.
If space opens up, the agent can move us to First correct? I'm looking into joining expert flyer to set an alert. Would EF catch this availability?
Would we be able to change the routing to BOS-LAX-NAN return if space opens up on the BOS-LAX-BOS segments or would we lose the LAX-NAN-LAX J segments?
If it helps any or matters, we have 2 one ways. These are currently on hold. Figured I get as much info as possible before confirming the booking.
Thank you
