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?

I assume you paid with credit card. It depends on your credit card processing. I would say it can take up to 2 billing cycles.

Does JAL offer discounted upgrades similar to AA's upgrade offers at check-in?
My girlfriend and I are starting to plan a trip to TYO for next winter and I'd really like to take JAL out there. I have enough miles for a RT Y seat and we'd split the cost of her Y seat. Given that it'll likely be our longest trip of the year, I'm willing to pay up to PY but I'd like to do that as cheaply as possible. We ran into an issue on a flight recently where I was offered a buy-up at check-in and she was not because we were not on the same PNR. That's why I asked about it.

You may be better off buying and redeeming premium economy from the get go though.

It won't be a problem. The same-day upgrade will be offered to both of you at the published price as long as seats are still available.
