Business reward seats T72hr before departure

[Richie312]

Hey Everyone,
Just wandering, I've noticed that business reward seats seem to open up a few days before departure, anyone else found this?
I want to do a trip to Vancouver via LAX in November but there are no reward seats online now but you reckon if I leave it to the last minute they will pop up?

Seats are very few and far between and do seem to be only consistently available within that time window.

I would suggest you have a backup plan however so you don't have to rely on VA actually releasing the seats.

I'm watching our upcoming flight with great interest, as I've found this too. But just when you think it's become some delightful pattern, they slap the "sold out" sticker across all flights at T-72 and beyond - and it stays in place till the flight boards.

Hedge your bets and either find a Premium fare that will still provide a certain degree of comfort if you can't upgrade OR take the chance and hold out for those elusive Wonka J Class Tickets.............
