Domestic upgrade (JPY1000) cause fare code change ?
I'm booked on NRT-FUK in S, and paid the ¥1000 upgrade fee at the gate. Does my fare code change, and if so, to what ? Thanks

I never experienced my fare base change. If you are booking domestic as part of your international flight, you always get 100% miles anyway.

I upgraded myself to class J on OKA-HND at the end of last year.
This was part of an international ticket, so I was eligible for 100% of the mileage.
日付 内容 マイル1 ボーナスマイル2 合計マイル1＋2

14/12/29 JL0902 沖縄-羽田984 541 1,525
All I got was the same base mile 984 + 55% status bonus as JMB Crystal.(Was still Crystal back then)
So you should get the same miles as you would originally get before upgrade.

Did you used the class J coupon? If thats the case then this is normal.

FYI, the J / F miles for OKA should registered as below for JMB Ruby

This is not entirely relevant, JAL has a very useful FOP calculator to determine exactly how many FOPs you'll get from a given route/fare/upgrade/status combination when earning on JMB.
https://www.jal.co.jp/en/jmb/flyon_rn/
All domestic segments on an international ticket earn 100%, with Class J earning an additional 10%.

If you get an "S" fare it means it's linked with an International Ticket. For JL it's almost given that if it's part of international ticket you get 100% miles regardless you pay the class J seat or not.

He was only referring to JMB rules. AM is still based on booking class which is usually booked in Y/H/G before the upgrade if booked in conjunction with international flights.
