My first theory was just to put a new ticket on hold HND-ORD-MCO then cancel my current ticket and use the miles once they’re reinstated but as of right now there’s no extra U award for my ORD - MCO so I don’t want to lose that.
Just out of curiosity, why don't you want spring for the extra 10k to move to business? Many folks in these forums willingly drop 25k+ miles and several hundred dollars just to have a shot at J upgrades, while JL pretty much pushes confirmed seats in our faces.
