Hey all,

Travelling SYD>LAX return on VA1/VA2 over the next couple of weeks in PE, and have already secured J upgrade for VA1. I'm waitlisted for a J upgrade for the return leg, but I've noticed that for a few VA2 flights with fewer than 10 seats left, the J reward seats don't open up even from 5 days before the flight until departure.....

Is it common for VA to not release reward seats if the J load is 80-90%? And then what's the best course of action if nothing opens up? Ring VA and beg for mercy on the day??

First world problems right? ;) Thanks in advance.
