re: ticketing deadlines



Though by phone (if you call Japan, as US call center is very limited hours, and wait times are often an hour +) it is:


and also keep in mind re: waitlisting



Availability usually comes open at 7 days or less prior to flight, if there's only a few seats left. That you cannot waitlist, and it's also hard if not impossible to book it with JL itself due to the ticketing deadlines.
Got flights on Asiana with dreaded recline seats on the ICN-DEL leg. Was really looking forward to trying out the new Skysuite III on NRT-DEL. Next time I guess... Thanks again for potentially saving me from Econ on 20+ hours of flying!
