It Pays To Keep Checking for Reward Availability

When, back in January, I booked our reward trip to NYC for just after Easter our outbound leg was limited to VS9, so a lateish arrival and a 330 to boot. Not that I necessarily have anything against the 330, but I'd wanted to try the day flight back and that's a 330 so I had hoped to do a bit of mixing and matching.
Since booking I've occasionally checked for any other availability, and today, bingo! Shifted to VS45 for a change fee, seats in the A Zone on a 747 and an extra evening in Manhattan. Bliss. Just need to do some training for the race to immigration....
