And write nothing of note? Or is it the prestige of El All being mentioned by that idiot ::)

@AJK, not sure where your post went, but yes that is F.
I'm wrong.

Looks like the new F and the only difference is the seat material. But I could be wrong since I never saw it in person.

Wait, so if you're wrong (and it is not actually F) then what you're second sentence referring to?

That the upstairs (New J) looks like the new F besides the material of the seat, which is why I mixed them up.

Anyone ever have the issue where AA can only see 2 J seats at a time even though more are available?

I think it has been discussed a while ago, moish was of the opinion that they don't make more than 2 seats available at one time even when there's actually more award seats  open.
The trick is to book the two and the next two will become available right away.

That's his theory

It's still working. I had the agent grab 2 seats at a time until I had the amount I needed.
Don't actually have to to book it separately, rather hold 2 at a time and then ticket them all together.
