thanks everyone!

we are actually doing jfk-bkk, so the jfk to nrt is only the first leg of the trip. it looks like there are still almost 100 open seats on the JFK-NRT flight. Will the payload optimization take affect with so many open seats? I know there are a lot of factors involved in determining a payload optimized flight but is it typical for a non rev to be denied with so many open seats?
