Just to kick start a wiki, with answers to frequent questions.
1. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. NGO-HNL is booked in business class, but HND-NGO is in economy. Will we still get the baggage allowance as if we're flying business class the whole way?
2. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. Will we have lounge access in HND?

JALPak, on the EF seat map I see an empty window - 5A (this is on the 77W in J class). However, the JAL online booking engine won't let me select that seat, says it's occupied. Any idea if 5A a special seat blocked only for JAL elites or something to that extent?
appreciate the help

JAL website doesn't distinguish between occupied and blocked. It will only show seats you are entitled to select as available on JAL website.

Open-Jaw from Germany?
Is there a way to book an open-jaw ticket and / or stopover through the JAL site?
I am beginning the trip in Germany and I think the only possibility to book from Germany is through the German JAL site - but there is only the option of booking a roundtrip Germany / Japan.
Any possibilities around this on another JAL site?

Booking Economy Class
I'm trying to book flights from HKG to HNL in economy but the website only seems to offer 'Normal Fare' which only displays business class fares, or 'Mix Cabin Saver' which is one leg in economy and one in business. The website is impossible to navigate, how do i just book an economy flight?

Question about upgrade award.
I have requested an upgrade award for SFO-HND. Now it is on waitlist.
I was told there are 5 persons before me.
How does JL handle the priority? FIFO? Or by JL status? Or by OW status?
Thank you

I have not done it in ages as non JMB. But I think I just assigned an FFP number at check-in. There are not really any bennies to be had before that stage anyway. Or you can call JAL to have it entered in the system.

On a completely unrelated note, may I ask is there a BA ex-EU equivalent business fare for JAL from Asia to Europe?

Is there a clear rule of upgrade waitlist priority?
