It looks like the easiest thing will be to upgrade my FIL to avoid splitting the other ticket up..

Right now it's showing F2. How does JAL allocate miles upgrade tickets, are the pulled from the same award bucket as normal F tickets? Unfortunately I am not able to use the website functionality to monitor upgrades because you have to have your JAL MB number in the ticket before the online upgrade option will become available. Looking for a way to jump on the upgrade if it becomes available in advance vs. calling the call center to check on a daily basis. Do they open up the last seat to upgrades day of travel if not in advance?
Just put your FIL on upgrade waitlist. The upgrade availability is not the same as F bucket. It uses the A bucket and is not the same as cash A bucket.
