The classic reward release has the feeling of being covertly ‘enhanced’. I’ve requested multiple releases in last 6/12, albeit all for international flights but usually >6 months ahead, none successful,

I haven’t ever been successful, but I never had high expectations because I was usually asking for a J seat on SIN-LHR or PER-LHR.

Would be disappointing to hear it’s got worse and they are holding back more seats for cash sales/upgrades.

is there a way to get alerts on J and F sale fares for specific routes? Do seats.aero or other services offer this?

You have much better odds of getting releases than alerts. But yes these sites can be setup for alerts. You can also set up alerts for "I booking class" again if it sells out previously. If a fare gets sold out then comes back, there's much higher odds of it becoming successful release.

1 x F SYD - JNB return, Nov 2 and Nov 14 .
1 x J MEL - NRT March 21 (requested 2x, only 1 available).
2 x J HND - SYD April 6

Have had amazing experience with the call team who put through multiple different flight options to find tickets. The JNB was lucky - could only fly on those dates, J denied but surprised me with “F available”
