STARLUX Seat Assignments for AS-issued tickets
Currently, the STARLUX website does not recognize AS-issued bookings for seat assignments. To get a seat assignments, use chat or call STARLUX.
Moderator Note
Because AS is JXs only US partner, there is lot of interest here in its service, inflight product and FTers' general experiences. For the time being, STARLUX comments and reviews (especially J and PE) will be welcome in this thread.
There is not a dedicated JX forum on FT (discussion is in the Other Asian, Australian, and South Pacific Airlines forum). Please try to keep posts at least a bit related to AS, if possible. Thanks.

I see, so you are saying that if I choose the distance based SP earn, when comparing an award ticket and a cash ticket (booked on AS), I will get the same amount of SP? Seems to really disincentive paying cash and makes the choice to do an award ticket even easier. Thank you!

Here is my understanding of how things are supposed to work. This is by no means meant to be official or authoritative, just my best interpretation of the information provided thus far. I think the biggest unknown is whether CoS bonus applies to partner bookings when choosing the earn by distance traveled stance. I have it marked as 'no' for now, but could be wrong.

Have you accounted for economy tickets purchased from the Partner or is your opinion that partner purchased economy tickets will earn "base." Currently, partner purchased economy tickets earns 25% (most fare classes) or 50% of base. I don't see that changing. Your chart doesn't indicate.

Update: after further review it seems likely that current partner earn rates remain in effect except for the cases specifically called out under New partner earn rate on this page.

Well there's no irrefutable evidence either way, but the information we do have seems to indicate that partner economy tickets earn 100% distance, except saver equivalent fares which earn 30% distance.
But I could be totally wrong on this. Might be another we'll have to wait and see item.

Additionally, for the OP, JX flights purchased anywhere outside of AS don't earn Status Points. Maybe that will change too, but yet another "later in 2026" that was first outlined more than 6 months ago.

Have others also observed last minute availability (in any cabin) basically dry up (or lessen significantly)? I assumed this was in part due to the current events, causing many travelers to/from Southeast Asia changing their plans to fly on carriers like JX instead.
