Maybe there is an AA flight that connects to JL at JFK or something. Figure out what route that they would take from Washington to Tokyo if they are JL FF'ers.
From IAD, the only AA routes are DFW, LAX, MIA, and CLT. Why someone from Japan would make the effort to go out to IAD to connect to JL at DFW, I would never understand. DCA to JFK to TYO would make much more sense. As would DCA to ORD to NRT.
