Isn't there an AA Codeshare in J? Can't AA reissue the ticket (i.e.: pay more), in J through the AA codeshare? A six (6) hour flight too. Since this is not a domestic Japan ticket, JL will satisfy all of their JL elite member tickets first, including their equivalent Ruby level. JL may offer an exit row as an Emerald however -- that's what I received on the same flight quite a while back.

In my cases, I've been offered domestic intra-Japan upgrades numerous times as an EXP, yet for a price, at check in on JL that were AA codeshare and award tickets -- however, I end up refusing because they are short flights.

Good Luck
