I would guess it goes along with the "Asia 1"/"Asia 2" entries in JAL's own award charts - though presumably excluding Delhi in their Asia 2 region for AS awards, unless that didn't make it onto the website.

Now if only JL would put AS codeshares to YVR and LAX from PDX on their online booking tool and add EUG, all of my remaining AS/JL Christmas wishes would be checked off.

Here's the award chart:
Japan Airlines
Class of Service | One-way | Round-trip
Continental U.S. to Asia
Coach | 35,000 | 70,000
Premium | 40,000 | 80,000
Business | 60,000 | 120,000
First | 70,000 | 140,000
Continental U.S. to Southeast Asia
Coach | 40,000 | 80,000
Premium | 45,000 | 90,000
Business | 65,000 | 130,000
First | 75,000 | 150,000
I just wish they had included Australia as a region like they have with CX since JL has great availability down to Australia (US - TYO/HND - SYD would've been a killer option).
Being able to book directly via AS website though is a huge win - especially vs. AA where a call is required though undoubtedly this will allow those with AA an easier time to find JL award space (versus the arduous BA / JL method)

We probably need an award wiki thread (and hopefully not two of them that are duplicative, like CX).
