Of course I can cancel the F seat up to 24h beforehand if I don't find a second - but otherwise it seems like a massive gamble. I guess I'll just wait to see if a second seat opens up (availability is F6 right now) unless anyone has any other tactics I should try?
Are you using a 241?
If not then the best thing to do (if you have enough avios spare) would be keep your current booking and book the single F seat on avios separately. Then if a second opens up, you can also book that and then cancel the two other seats in J. If not, then as you say you can cancel the F seat up to 24hrs before.
But if you are on a 241 then there's not really anything you can do at this stage, just accept flying in J which is fine.
