This is not an option for me since I'm in Canada. Kind of strange that's the booking process, why not go paperless?? This will be my first time on JAL and looking forward to it.
I know that *Alliance has the
Japan Airpass deal. Figure OW would have that too. Book that through yr local travel agent. I used the *Alliance product once. Went HND-CTS-NRT and got Y class (full) miles. ^
I'm also making my first JL flight later this week, SFO-NRT. Looking forward to that too.
