Interesting... According to Delta and their mole (LJM1430), those ATL-NRT flights are operating at "full capacity" in BizE, thus frustrating many people wanting to buy full-fare J tickets. I guess "full capacity" is 20%, 3 months out at the moment... Good thing the SWUs will be eliminated, thus freeing up those J BizE seats!

Thanks for the many excellent and useful suggestions. The winning answer is to call the Friends & Family hotline in Atlanta, enter the Delta employee information, and enter desired travel dates and flight numbers. As it turns out, my desired itinerary has 40 (of 50) business elite seats open and 120(of 218) coach seats open to and from Tokyo.
