Of course JAL is the same as what JAL is doing

I believe they have done this before too if I recall correctly

Could you translate please? I cannot even find that option within the Japanese text.

Is it correct that I cannot book domestic flights until 55 days before departure? I have a 21 day trip to Japan in May / early June. I have my LHR - NRT flight booked along with all the ground arrangements. The only thing outstanding are the 6 internal flights we need. I would like to travel JAL to get TP and miles but find this so frustrating in the land that has the best rail network in the world as competition. Is the cuurent Visitor offer (Yen 10,000 per sector) being extended to May / June flights?

Any advice would be most appreciated as finding help on the JAL and other websites is frustrating to say the least?

The linked pages says the sakitoku and super sakitoku fares will be released for travel period March 25- jun 30 on Jan 25 09:30. For JAL card holders it opens jan 23 14:00 and for JAL milage bank members it opens jan 24 11:00.
These fares are early bird fares, frequently sold in this manner (not a "sale")



By visitor offer I think you mean the Yokoso fares. They are 10000 en per sector, and not related to any other offers. I don't think you can book them online, you book them via your own airline (the airline that have ticketed you to japan). You need to arrive in Japan on a OW ticket for these fares to apply.

Sorry for going on, but I could do with some help here people. Me and Mrs Harry are travelling BA to NRT in May and need to book the following domestic flights on a O/W carrier.

Tuesday 29th May - HIJ - HND ; 08:55 - 10:15 on JAL 1602
Tuesday 29th May - HND - ISG ; 13:40 - 16:55 on JTA 073

Saturday 2nd June - ISG - HND ; 18:10 - 22:00 (presumably) on JTA 078 unless an earlier flight is scheduled.

We are not used to sitting at the back and would prefer J class where available.

What is the best way of booking this and with who?
Which ticket would offer us the best value?
When can this booking be made?

Any help would be appreciated. I do find the JAL website full of information that I do not need, and empty of the information I am looking for.

Of course, I could just be stupid?

Thanks,

Have a question about Sakitoku and Super Sakitoku fares over New Year Holiday. We need to fly the once-a-day Yakushima (KUM) - FUK on Jan 2, 2013. From reading this and past thread about the Sakitoku and Super Sakitoku fares, it seems that they have NOT been available for about one week over New Year.

Is that what others on this forums has found? Currently, they're only for flights up to Dec 28 for most flights, but only Dec 25 for KUM-KOJ/FUK. And for years past, they next batch only opens up in early Nov for travel starting about the 2nd week of Jan.

[Unfortunately, we're flying KA between HKG and FUK, and KA is not an actual oneworld member to get the Yokoso fare.]

KA is an oneworld member because of CX but the problem is you are flying during the blackout period of Yokoso.

Isn't KA just an affiliate? Or do you mean that Yokoso fare is available even if arriving on a OW affiliate? The JAL site says you need to be arriving on a "oneworld carrier".

JAL website is wrong about this one. The didn't list KA as qualifying but they are. I just got off the phone with JAL reservation to confirm this. But unfortunately your travel is within the blackout period so doesn't matter whether your ticket qualifies or not.

Thanks JALPak for all the info. I guess we'll just buy regular tickets 2 months out.
