Selecting seats on JAL when booked as AA codeshare
Is there a number I can call for JAL to pick my seats reserved for a flight on JAL I booked through AA? Is there a web based way to do this? AA said they could not assign a seat for that leg of the flight on JAL. I am sure this is old hat for many of you but I have never done this.
Thanks |
Call JAL's toll-free number at 1 (800) 525-6453.
Or online. First you need to get the JAL PNR from AA for your itinerary. Then head over to JAL's American Region website. Click on View My Reservations and enter these info: JAL PNR, Flight number, Date of boarding, Family Name, Given Name. Voila! (I don't know if you need to be oneworld elite to be able to do the above.) |

I'm flying on AA codeshare flights operated by JAL (NRT-BKK-NRT) in 4 weeks and am looking to get seat assignments. AA said they were unable to assign seats. I have my JL reservation number, but for some reason when I enter it at the JAL website it only brings up the AA flights to/from NRT and not the intra-Asia flights. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks, |

Call JAL
A follow up call to AA EXP desk allowed me to confirm a seat on the return, but not the outbound. Lots of misinformation floating around... |

Strange. JAL says I can't reserve until T-72 hours at which point I should check-in online.

There are some booking classes on JAL that won't allow you to pre-select a seat. N fare on your outbound ticket I guess? And something like K on your inbound?

Yup -- booked in N on the outbound and V on the return on the AA codeshares.

That's why you can't preselect seats on outbound.
If so, is it 72 hours before the first segment in the reservation (this is the case on AA operated flights on the same itinerary) or is it 72 hours before the departure time of the JAL flight? |

Thanks. Do you know if the T-72 hour mark for being able to preselect seats online is accurate?

But when is your flight? They are planning to integrate the OLCI system as part of the JBV. You might be able to do that on AA's website at an earlier time later. But I am not 100% sure. |
Great info. I've had this same issue and couldn't figure out why I was unable to select seats online. My mystery is solved :)

I didn't see this in any other posts so will share my experience. I was unable to check-in for the NRT-HAN segment for an AA code-share JL operated flight. On the return (SGN-NRT) I went to the AA.com site to see if I could print the AA boarding passes. At the check-in button it directed me to the JL site where I could select seats and print my BP. Not sure if this is something new but I've never been able to issue a JL BP on an AA codeshare.
BTW - didn't do much good other than seat selection for SGN as passport control would not allow entry without a JL stamp. Counter opens 3 hours before departure and I arrived early on a domestic flight. Online BP did nothing of value for a domestic to international connection in Vietnam. |
Bumping to see if this is still the case.
Are you still not able to select seats on JL operated flight but booked with AA coded/marketed flights? N Class will not allow to select seats? Is this JL's N or AA's N class? If JL, what does it map to AA's booking class? :confused: |
