Hey all, we’re booked one stop LAX-HND-GMP at present on July 20, which has us connecting HND-GMP on the 21st on JL95. At present that route is obviously not functioning - and they have yet to announce the route schedule beyond the 20th. To me it seems highly unlikely they bring back the evening flight in July when GMP international terminal only operates now to serve the morning flights on this route.

My searches in native language turned up a) a posted schedule for the 21st on Gimpo’s web page that shows the morning flights but not JL95 and b) some third party Japanese site (that I’m skeptical of) that indicates the route will be operating post July 20. JAL’s own Japanese language site just mentions that the decision is forthcoming.

Does anyone know when they will reveal the schedule post July 20, and does anyone care to handicap the race?

I placed these awards back in November and yes the idea of being on the reopening flight for JL95 is pretty cool - but at the same time this isn’t a trip we can easily cancel, and the longer I wait, the worse and more expensive the alternate flight options become.
