How to get J Seat on MIA-JFK 762?
Hi all,
I'll be on a 762 MIA-JFK mid-week in March. Is there any chance of snagging a J seat? If so, how? I'm not a platnium member or anything.
Thanks.

Depending on load levels, you may be offered the opportunity to upgrade at the self service check-in machine at the airport for $150.

Despite being 3-class aircraft, the 762s flying JFK-MIA are only sold as two class, enabling many coach passengers to sit in the much nicer J cabin (though still receiving coach service). In order to pre-reserve these J seats you must either be an AA elite or full-fare coach passenger. You could also try asking at check-in, but in all liklihood these seats will already be claimed by then.
