• Can I preassign seats? Can I do so online?

Depends on your ticket. Some tickets e.g. US-Asia N fare tickets, do not allow advanced seat selection. One way to find out whether your ticket allows preassign seat selection is to go to JAL website to view your reservation. Click the seat selection button there. You will receive an error message if your ticket doesn't allow that. Or if there's no seat selection button, then you can't preassign seats.

But some seats won't be released until at the airport. So if you don't get the seats you want, you might be able to switch to a better seat at the airport. Seat availability will be based on your JMB status. Seats like emergency exit rows are only available to elite flyers.
