I believed my trip would be treated as Tokyo bound pax instead being transit to 3rd country? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also will KUL ground staff print out the NRT>KUL boarding pass (assuming above went well during check in)?
I would be flying JL for this purpose if this info helps. Also will be only doing hand luggage.
**Edit: Reading through older post it seems like this is not possible, is it still the same of now???**
**If so would KUL>BKK>NRT>KUL routing workable with them under the same ticket?**
Just to update. Did the actual trip KULL>BKK (with MH) then >NRT>KUL in JL routing.
Had some queries at BKK check in counter which escalated to more senior personal onboard but then once ticket issued no further question while boarding in NRT.
Tried to asked JL BKK manager about the possibility of KUL>NRT>KUL routing but answered given was vague at best (At least the KUL folks did check with their internal helpdesk who said its okay but there no black and white to back it up).
Overall good flights, just a pity NRT is now so quiet around 9-11am as opposed to being super crowded in 2019.
Likewise flight load was much lower too. Plenty of transit pax which i am certain contributed by strict transit rule in TPE and HKG.
