Today right at 5pm PST (9am Japan time tomorrow), I snagged a return seat from HND-DFW for T-14. Not west coast (I think APEC is messing it up for SFO...but I did check SEA/LAX). I'll have to book my own cash ticket from DFW to SFO to get home but I'm sitting on AA credit. Not ideal to hop on another domestic flight (on a seperate itin) but I'll take it. Did have to pay the difference in miles and an extra 45 cents in taxes, but F in JAL is one of my favorite flying experiences, so it was worth it for me.

When I was doing my search I saw that 5 seats were left avail (well 4 now, since I took 1).

So TLDR: the T-14 trick still works from some routes.
