Looks like 80k booking before Oct 31st, and 100k after (round trip). It also mentions that one way is available at half the round trip rate as of April. This is surprisingly a pretty good deal, especially for F. It's too bad that Amex Japan dropped JL as a transfer partner for MR last year, I may have to pick up a JAL credit card now.
Wow, that's a really good deal. I guess most of us on the board originate from the US. So unless we do the bulk of the flying to/from Japan, it's hard to accumulate enough EQM's for status (even with bonus credit card points) on JAL alone. I know my husband flies a lot to Asia (but not exclusively to Japan) and also to Europe from the US.
