I remember reading that the route was ceded over to JO. Hmm I notice it says 'operated by JL for JO' now on my itinerary in AA.com. EF is showing a 2 class 744. So, operated by JL mainline but to JO standards? It's an award so beggars can't be choosers I guess. Still trying other options via SIN (QF/JL) or HKG (QF/CX)
