Coupons, higher value, and easier to spend than miles.

How do you usually spend yours? I could only think of Yokoso, inflight shopping, and domestic F upgrades. But it's kind of hard to upgrade OKA flights (CTS and probably ITM/FUK on the other hand are much easier but will result in much less FOPs)

I usually pop by JAL Plaza in Yurakucho. Book what I want online but don't issue the ticket. Then just pop by JAL Plaza for the part payment. Of course e-points are easier..

Typically companies are insured against this. But there would be a question if 3.2 million USD is enough to make it worthwhile to claim. There is usually self coverage on the policies.

Looks like the next installment of the AIR SERIES will be AIR MOS BURGER again. "JAL Original Hamburger" is listed as the 2nd meal for June

I kind if like that, but still think it is a bit too apace consuming for economy to assemble.
