British Airways would charge 4500 miles per ticket per leg to fly on JAL.
United would charge 6000 miles per ticket per leg to fly on ANA.

Does anyone know how many miles AA would charge per leg to fly on JAL? Is it also 6000? I could also potentially transfer points to ANA or JAL directly. Would that get me a better deal? I'm not sure how many miles they charge per leg.

Thanks for your help!
I think you answered your own question. 4500 miles with BA is hard to beat, with a pretty good online booking engine. Then UA would be a second choice.

Here is the ANA page which seems to indicate 7500 miles in low season http://www.ana.co.jp/wws/us/e/asw_co...u/kokunai.html

and JAL 9000 miles http://www.jal.co.jp/en/jalmile/use/jal/dom/miles.html
