Qantas shows no availability (but pointhacks.com.au says Qantas will not show JAL availability anyway). Alaska shows availability about 325 days out. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
JL recently migrated its systems to Amadeus, which apparently created some issues in terms of AA seeing award space (read upthread for some suggestions on how to prompt agents to look specifically for U award space on JL).
