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?

So, I guess around 25Jan2018(Thu).
Anyway, exact schedule will be announced around 20Jan2018.

I spent time on the phone booking an F award reservation a couple of days ago. The rep said that it was confirmed, however I received an email today with the title: "Notice of Award Ticket Waitlist Holding Deadline". Has anyone come across this before and do I need to take any action? I'd rather not phone and ask if it's nothing to worry about as I was on hold for 2+ hours last time.

Thanks, that’s helpful. To confirm, is the pre-sale for “status members” for JMB status members only, or can other OW status members participate too?

The CA calendar is sold out. They it’s recently sold out, possibly today because the staffs kept telling me they are over there but then was corrected by the cashier

They have some new iPhone 7/8 cases but nothing for iPhone X or 7+/8+ yet. A couple of them looks really nice. I think one of them will be perfect for @fumitani

I have an upcoming flight LAX-NRT next week in F w/ my wife. We are booked in 1D/1G, but JAL.com would allow me to book 1A/1D instead. Does anyone think that having seats across the aisle is preferable? (And if so, why, etc.?) Thanks in advance. Have flown JL in F many times by myself, and once w/ my wife last year (in 1D/1G).

If that doesn't work, I can post a picture each month in the Sakura thread (calendar date side of course, that's what you're looking for right?
)The JTA desktop one becomes a postcard after each month. Not very airliney but nice nonetheless.

For those that have selected diamond/premier gifts before, how was the experience with ringbell? I was thinking of getting the items delivered to hotel or friend's address in Tokyo, but the website is hard to navigate and there's no English version.

I have ever only selected coupons or e-points. So I can't say. Though being a Japanese company, I am sure they are fairly reliable.
