I saw an opening from CGK to NRT to LAX with JL(J) and AA(F) in sequence. For end of march departure.
If I ticket this and later NRT-LAX with JL F opens up, can I change? |
yes you can.

So if I were to book seats for next Feb., should I attempt to get tickets with a random return date to secure the outbound dates and then change the inbound dates (since there is the 330-days rule? How do people get around?

Is there any reason that you wouldn't book only your outbound one-way for now? And later, book your inbound as another one-way when your preferred date becomes available.

Is anyone else having trouble pulling up JL award seats on BA? I have searched mutiple days in Jan 17 (330 days out) from several US cities to SIN/SGN. Just a few days ago I had no problem seeing J/F award seats.

I'm looking to use up the last of my accrued miles taking a trip to Japan next fall. I want to book before the devaluation. I'll have about 75k miles to use on the trip. This means I'll be able to fly J in only one direction. I'll be going SEA-TYO. It looks like I can easily connect through YVR (JL788), LAX (AA788), or ORD (AA788). I have three questions.
1) Who has the better J seat, AA or JL? Should I prioritize experience (i.e., service) or comfort (i.e., lie flat to sleep on the redeye)? 2) Who has the better Y seat, AA or JL? Which will offer more space (AA 9-across v JL 8-across)? I would prefer an exit row. 3) Which direction should I select for the J flights? Do I choose exTYO on a redeye and the ability to actually sleep or exNA and the opportunity to enjoy the service? |

Therefore, I suggest you focus on flying F (62.5k) in one direction, and figuring out something else (e.g. other miles or discounted ticket) in the reverse. Personally, I would use the F segment on JL ex-TYO (surprisingly good airline food). |

75k isn't enough to do J one way (55k) and Y the other (35k).

Succeeded in getting a good award on the dates I wanted for 2 pax in Jan 2017 from SYD-TYO-LHR all the way in first.
Just hope that there will be no downgrade of aircraft type for the route (an upgrade of aircraft type is welcome :D) I was actually surprised that availability on JL is actually not bad after all the hoo-ha about CX availability. Cheers! |

JAL seats did start showing up on BA again, was able to snag two (F)SFO-HND seats and HND-SIN in J for travel in mid Jan 2017. |

I'll see what I can do and snatch one-ways first. Thank you for the advise. |

Not sure if this the right thread but I booked a flight from JFK-NRT for April this year in business class. If a first class seat becomes available, is it possible to upgrade and if so how would I go about doing that? Sorry still a newbie here and this was my first award booking ever. Appreciate all the help!
