And is it possible to transfer other kinds of points or miles into JAL miles, and if so, which ones?
I find that the Y to PY minimum bids are usually the same as day of departure upgrades, and I mostly find them not worth it.
It seems to me that the minimum bid plus what I paid for Y, often put me ballpark what I could have paid for J initially, except I only get Y earnings on the ticket. The point of the bud is of course to monetize the J cabin, but as it is under the airline control and anyway unsold tickets a certain discount to the passenger should be there as well, and not s discount on full fare J.....
