Just to kick start a wiki, with answers to frequent questions.
1. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. NGO-HNL is booked in business class, but HND-NGO is in economy. Will we still get the baggage allowance as if we're flying business class the whole way?
2. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. Will we have lounge access in HND?

Last F service in Asia was a brief spell to Bangkok, waiting for the HND-JFK route to commence.

I booked an F award using alaska airlines for JFK-NRT. There is a layover then I continue on in J to Hanoi. A couple of questions. Can I call JAL and select my seat now that it has been booked? Also, on the date I fly J do I get access to F lounges since its the same award as F or will I be viewed as a J passenger only?

You can call JL to get your seat assignment or just get JL PNR from AS and do it online yourself.

If you want to book one way partner award with JMB, you have to call JMB service centre. Online award booking has limited functions.

I've booked a couple of domestic flights within Japan (HND-NGS, NGS-ITM) using BA miles. No status on any JAL partner airlines and have never flown JAL before (back when I lived in Japan many years ago, I always flew ANA).
I've gotten the JAL record locators (via using checkmytrip.com), but I'm unable to pull up the record on the jal.co.jp website. Is it possible to choose seat assignments in advance for domestic flights, or do those have to wait for check-in?

I was trying on jal.co.jp, selecting "My domestic booking". I have two record locators, one for BA and one for JAL. Both are 6 characters long.
