Called up Jet to find out the number of miles required in Upper class UK-USA and was asked to send them a email. 3rd reminder now and still nothing.

Jet is also starting to block upgrades on domestic segments now. Take IXC-BOM as an example only day in the next few weeks available in Biz is tomorrow.
Flight is showing wide open every day.

Even getting single J seats (let alone F) to LHR are proving difficult. And domestics, which were never the best value as it is, are even proving hard unless you want to redeem on a trunk route like DEL-BOM.
Conversely, I've been quite lucky so far (touch wood!) with IT redemptions (J to LHR as well as domestics.)

Agreed. I'm getting quite worried about the substantial mileage balance that I have accumulated.

AJ, you could perhaps try their new routes (for a vacation??) whenever they come up since there may be more open seats there at that point of time?

I've never searched for more than 2 at a time, but that in itself hasn't been a problem (unlike 9W!).
Last week I redeemed DEL-MAA-DEL in J for 2 on IT, while I was unable to find even 1 J seat on any 9w flight! On IT, I had a choice of 2 separate flights, both on the outbound and return dates.
