Yes I am based out of LAX. I have taken care of the 4 JAL flights requirement. Right now the 3 AA LAX-JFK flights would costs roughly $750 and the cheapest Okinawa flight I found on JAL website is around $800...That's why I am tempted to do the OKA MR (and I would rather give the money to JAL ) But I am still looking around to see if there are better options...
Indeed!

Is that 800$ for okinawa from LAX? If so, go for it ^

AA is pretty good if you watch for sales from your airport. The trick is to find when they're running some insane discounted fares and then hit them up. They have $89 each way to cancun in early september that I'm looking at I like AA as a way to fill in the gaps and also to do one day MR so there's no need for hotel or as to go visit friends and crash on their couch. "Uncle Bill, long time no see! I was thinking I hadn't seen you in years (and no the $50 super saver fares had nothing to do with it) "

I need to get one more flight in for my 4 flights requirement on JAL metal. I'm debating using some of the miles I have and the discounts to do an awards flight to tokyo and then take some discounted waribiki flights around Japan to make up the miles difference
