Even if you “win” the lottery, they’re all basically pretty awful seats on the AA 788. I wouldn’t even consider paying for international J on it, and not even worth booking Y and trying to throw a SWU at them since it will never clear with there being so few J seats. I’m still a bit surprised that there’s no other option on their TYO flights.
