I don't know whether this is caused by JAL's financial conditions, but when I tried to buy a JAL ticket online a couple of weeks ago, the charge was declined by US Diners Club card although I have no problem using my Diners Club card anywhere else. I used my American Express card instead, and it went through, though.
