I say fairly as on the JAL award finder showed that a CX flight I wanted became available. I called three AS agents who all said it was not available. The next day I called twice during the afternoon and the agents said it was not available. Later that evening, around 2200 PST, I called again and the agent said it was available and I booked it.
I've used JAL before and like it but it doesn't allow a one way search. I'm usually planning so far out that I have to book each leg the day the become available.
