Perhaps two more routes this year if these are all delivered on schedule? The total number of FC seats for sale out of ORD seems sort of odd, starting in September the only day with 7 FC seats available is Friday. ​​​​​​LHR stops selling 7 FC seats starting in November. So if I had to take a guess, ORD and LHR will be the next routes.

I was selfishly hoping for LAX, but it makes sense that JAL wants to put this plane on the longer routes first.
They don't always go for the longest route. Aircraft rotation is another consideration. Just look at how JL11/12 gets A35K before JL3/4. You should keep an eye on No. 4 and No. 5 deliveries.
