Why is JL not ideal?

Obviously the determining factor is whether your can find availability. Also if you are planning on using the free stopover, the next question is whether you would rather visit Tokyo or Hong Kong (personally I like Tokyo a lot more)

And there are more gateways than just SFO and LAX. I had a very good business class fare JFK-TYO-TPE that was unfortunately cancelled due to covid (about $1800 rt booked through amex IAP, unfortunately scheduled for May 2020).
