did you happen to notice how full J was? I am flying J (company paid!), have mom upgraded to J with miles one way confirmed, waitlisted on the return...EXP desk says they really dont have a handle on how full the flights will actually be as its a new flight...for the return, flight has only used up 6 of the 35 j seats, but none are available for EVIP right now...just curious..
