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?

Hi there,
I'm planning a trip for september this year. Before I'll transfer a lot of SPG points to my JAL account, I would like to know if the following route is possible: ZRH-HKG (CX F); MCT-DXB-AMS (EK F) on one award of 105/K JAL miles.
Thanks in advance!

I'm going to Japan for the first time this summer with Mrs. LC and her mother. I am OneWorld Emerald through Iberia and we will be departing on IB from NRT T2 during the morning. Do any OneWorld Lounges offer any flexibility for an additional guest? If not, what would be the best Priority Pass option?

Furthermore, The distance of a surface sector between two intermediate cities will be included in the total itinerary distance.
So, even if you could book ZRH-DXB-HKG on EK (any cabin), expect to pay for the HKG-MCT mileage sector too! (rule here).
If you were to abandon EK and focus on Oneworld partners, then the rule on allowed maximum distance of the surface sector applies, further invalidating your itinerary (rule here)

Emirates partner awards cannot be mixed with any other airline besides JAL.

You can't mix EK with ohter airlines (including JL).
You can mix oneworld airlines for oneworld award.
And mileage calculation rule is
JAL Mileage Bank - oneworld Award Tickets Chart
The required mileage is determined based on the total trip distance (miles), the distance of total award itinerary, and the class of service traveled. The distance of any surface sector is not included in total trip distance (miles).
See JAL Mileage Bank - oneworld Award Tickets : Conditions for Using Awards
Flight Sectors and Stopovers
For each award, a maximum of 8 flight sectors excluding surface sectorswill be permitted in the whole itinerary.
...
One surface sector is permitted in the whole itinerary.

I want to switch to an evening JAL flight in first NRT-JFK. Flight isn't for several weeks. No award availability right now and it looks like 4 of 8 seats are taken. What are the chances one of those remaining seats will open up closer in with the cabin already half full?

I'll keep checking it. I just prefer the night flight because I'd rather be in the lounge in the evening and more importantly it gives me the day in Tokyo. Since its a Sunday flight it might be a bit rough.

EK award must be "EK" designated flights operated by Emirates (EK)
You can't mix EK with ohter airlines (including JL).
You can mix oneworld airlines for oneworld award.

NRT arrivals lounge?
Arriving into NRT from LHR on BA F. Is there any opportunity for an arrivals lounge in NRT?
I also have PriorityPass, which 'suggests' this lounge?
https://www.prioritypass.com/en/Lounges/Asia-Pacific/Japan/Tokyo/Tokyo-Narita-International/TYO-IASS-Executive-Lounge
"Location Landside - Arrival, Departure and Domestic transit only. "
Thanks!
