I have no status through Japan Mileage Bank, but OWE through AA. Will I be able to select business class seats when I book through JAL? Are there any seats blocked for me on 773 or 789?
It does not really matter whether it is a JMB award or an AA award booking. Seat options are the same, but with certain JMB status all restrictions goes away.
