Anyone has any experience with this? I called JAL today and they said they really don't know (except the NRT to SIN flight is getting full).

Thanks!
JAL does block a lot of seats until online check-in opens. So if you are ready at T-72 you will be able to select seats. And there are whole rows blocked so finding two together should also not be a problem.
