You were the one who said you want to do it early in the year and finish it in 2 weeks so you can maximize your status.

Same here for me Fumitani. I'm checking almost everyday and I even call them like once a week as I have to schedule all my trips for the next 6 months starting April first week and I need the fares to strategically fend off any plans by our company in booking me on non-JL flights....
JALPak you have to love me for being so loyal to your airline.

although I wish it is so I can just axe the JGC program Just be patient. The fares will be released shortly.
And to thank you, JALPak Jr. will give you a big hug for me
And it's not that bad to fly on the other Japanese carrier. I would worry if I have to fly on certain HK based carrier though

They can always price it a bit higher and reduce it!! If people are happy with fares they will buy it

JAL and ANA both need to change their stradegy of releasing fares so late...they should keep filing new fares all the time instead of Jul/Aug for Sep-March fares and Jan/Feb for Mar-Sep fares..

JAL just released more domestic discounted fares for first half of 2011. Just be patient. They discounted international fares are coming really soon.

For me I think it makes sense for CX to hold seat until like this weekend... I got a few friends still debating if going Japan for CNY.......

I see it repeat every year before JPY rate come down. Those people are japan frequenter that goes at least twice per year anyway. Normally Japan is their DEFAULT CNY destination.
