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?

SAN-NRT still has SHELL FLAT NEO. If you use jal.co.jp to search, it will list the type of seat.

For some reason, Google Flights won't pass through a multileg itinerary, it just goes to JAL's home page. I've used that to pass itineraries that aren't selectable from JAL's search screen such as from EUG (despite being listed as a destination airport in JAL's route map).

The partner search function in JAL is not ideal. But it works, sort of.

Look at the bottom of page where you select your last flight in the itinerary. You should have a drop down box in the Pricing Option section and select Business there. Screen shots below from searching for ORD-TYO/OSA-ORD, not sure where your OJ is.

You're most welcome! I kinda knew what you're experiencing because I've gone through it myself. All the way to the checkout page and wondering where the heck that cabin selector is supposed to be. I know it said I could change at the end...

Flying NRT-SIN on 09/16/17 (JL 711 / AA 8482) in Y (booked the AA codeshare). Fare class S, which should allow me to choose a seat. Currently stuck in a middle seat and both JL & AA tell me the flight is full (which is not true). EF (and Expedia) show row 16 completely empty and every other seat is occupied or blocked (more than half the cabin is blocked).
How can I get a window or aisle seat assigned to me? JL says all seats are occupied or blocked; AA says all other seats are occupied (not blocked). JL told me seating opens 72hrs prior to the flight, but I can't check in the early with AA so I'm a bit stuck.
NB: I'm flying JL 712 (SIN-NRT) the next day and I chose a seat myself on JL's site. They make this a lot harder than it needs to be for codeshares.

Do you happen to know when JL typically begins to unblock additional seating? Is it 72 hours prior to the flight?
I can't check in that early, but I assume I can call AA or JL at that time to get a different seat assignment.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured that was the case. A bit disappointing since I was able to choose a seat on the JAL marketed return leg on the same PNR quite easily.
