Is there a seat preference (window/aisle) in the JMB profile? I have a flight next week on JL that's been sold out for weeks and EF seatmap shows all seats occupied if not blocked. I'm on N fare and won't be online until about 24 hours before flight, so I'm curious if JL will pre-assign or block seats for it's members based on preference.

I thought it's T-72. There's no profile but you can add a notation in your PNR so airport staffs can see if. But YMMV whether they will act on it.

Yes it's T-72, but I will be offline at that time until about 24 hours before flight so will miss the first opportunity of grabbing the last non middle seats.

It was at the time I bought it. Deal is probably gone now, I posted it in the Premium Fare Deals forum.

Why would it matter if they are in X or I? They earn the same...

Come on I expect more from you! I is 70% while X is 125%. Also X is upgradable while I isn't.

Sorry yes, you are right. I earns fully on most partners, and I have credited a fair amount of them to JAL. But have yet to book an I fare on JAL. I thought it was only the package tour fares that did not earn 125%

Flying in J SIN to JFK in a few months. Last time I did this route I only needed to bring two suitcases but I see I'm given an allowance of 3. Is there an additional allowance for OWE? Am BA gold.

Yup, you will get 4 x 32kg. You can bring the kitchen sink
