Anyone care to guess if they will catch that? Am I likely to have trouble the day of departure if I do try to fly it as is? Would be nice to get the extra miles if they do credit it to me.

I had a quick question. I booked two one-way J award tickets via BA Avios on JL3 (JFK - HND) and JL4 (HND - JFK) in January 2024. I see both of these flights are currently saying that they will be on the 777-300ER (773). Due to the 2-3-2 configuration on this plane, this flight has quite a few J seats from what I can see. Am I at risk of being downgraded if the plane changes to a A350-1000 since that configuration may have less J seats or less F seats (I have no idea how many J seats it actually has)? I know January 2024 is far away, and the schedule for that period has not been released so we cannot know anything for sure, but I figured the folks on FT might have some insight here. On a separate, but related, note, for those that have booked JAL J tickets using BA Avios (or know what the process is like), is it likely my J tickets will be downgraded in general/for another reason on this route at this time of year? As you can probably tell, this is the first time I have booked tickets 355 days out haha.

I had 2 other U class bookings on the same flight and those remain unchanged.
As long as you can select seats with your ticket on JAL website, you should be good.

It's showing APEX suites for earlier dates and that's what it is right now so I'll just keep an eye out and pray my good seat doesn't get re-assigned into something bad when it swaps again.
