That's why I like LH M&M. You have a good chance to get award tix at least in C/J just some weeks in advance. And being a HON you have an award gaurantee up to 14 days prior departure: if they still sell C tickets you'll get an award tix in C, too ^ The only problem is that it does not work with F tickets. Anyway this is a real advantage of M&M top tier.
