I made a booking today (Oct 9), got a 6-digit reservation number. It says my ticket purchase deadline is Nov 8 for 25200YEN for travelling Jan 7.

In the confirmation, it says "Please note that fare amount may change without notice. The final fare amount will be based on the purchase (issue) date.".

Would I be okay to hold out until Nov 8 to purchase for the same amount? I know it says fare would change, but it sounds strange that for a reservation with a fixed fare will change anytime.

I have booked with that mesaage multiple times for both domestic and international flights, nothing has ever changed.

They are reserving their right to do so basically, sudden change in government fees or airport charges are the more likely, or if JAL on short notice would be changing their published fares. Not the most likely scenarios.
