As i use AA miles for Jet Redemptions, i appreciate that JP FFers have the option to WL for a reward seat and also understand that they would like to hold onto the seats (hence why they only offer 1 seat in F) but how about if 7 days before the flight, the seats are still available, they should offer another one in the redemption bucket so that it can also be booked through a partner.

Wanting to get both me and wife into Jet F but unless they adopt a SQ style policy of releasing another seat as soon as one is taken, its not gonna happen unless i whup out my credit card.

2. Grab another seat (in biz if available) online using JP miles.
3. Waitlist for the next one through JP, saying you already grabbed the biz seat and are really looking for the F seat for your companion.
4. Of course if you are buying J seats, then you can confirm 1 pax upgrade into F if it's available online and then waitlist the other, using either miles or vouchers, for both upgrade operations.

In fact I was told this 3-4 times by different JP agents. So how exactly have you guys done this?

Recently I asked them if I could ticket one and if they could waitlist the other one. Was told that no wait lists were allowed on miles only tickets. They were only allowed on upgrades done through vouchers.

that's very strange....i have never been told this....but i do always ask to speak with a manager when i call jp about any special request....i put the request in & wait for them to get back to me....it has worked both times for me....the last time i had to wait about 10 days & this time i waited less than a week....

my guess is 10 days before the flight....they need to see first if they call sell the tickets but when it becomes apparant that they can't, then they will confirm your ticket....

Well that could be why I am not able to secure two F seats. I always need to confirm my travels a month before at least.

i also asked my travel agent to check how many seats were sold in first....they told me there were 6 seats left after my redemption, & there are a total of 8....so it turns out that as of now, my wife & i are the only ones travelling in first....in situations like this jet would normally allow for the second redemption in first since its extremely unlikely they will be able to fill up the entire class....

Not openly on the website - they would require you to WL first, and then only confirm the second, unlike SQ (who openly releases it to *A inventory), as d3vski pointed out earlier.
