1) Would I be able to check through to JFK (I assume this is a "yes" since Jetstar and JAL are partners)?
2) Does Jetstar have JAL first class priority bag tags so that my bags will come out quickly at JFK?

Thanks in advance!
More of a question for Jetstar forum, as you are hoping Jetstar will through check bags on separate tickets. Jetstar is discussed in QF from
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qant...ent-flyer-498/

Jetstar is a point to point low cost carrier. I would not be expecting bags to be interlined on separate tickets.

Baggage transfers and flight connections

Please be aware that we don’t transfer your baggage between flights. However, there are some exceptions:
  • Connecting international Jetstar flights and flights with our partner airlines (see list below), where both international flights were purchased on the same booking
  • Domestic flights in Japan connecting to international flights operated by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Japan Airlines and Qantas, where both flights were purchased on the same booking

If you're transferring between domestic flights or between international and domestic flights, in most cases you’ll need to collect your baggage, check in again and transfer your bags.

Our check-in staff will let you know if your baggage will be transferred. You may still need to check in at the connecting airport to obtain your next boarding pass before check-in closes.

Remember, it’s your responsibility to make your connecting flight on time.
