Am contemplating booking one. Two questions:

1. What's the definition of a stopover? It allows max of 5, so let's say I need to go from NRT to BOS but will need to connect thru LAX, I assume LAX doesn't count as a stopover?

2. JAL - Anyone know whats' likely to happen if I book an award flight on JAL (for travel early next year) and JAL goes into bankruptcy again or leaves oneworld alliance?

Thanks.
