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?

Does anyone have insight into schedule timing for HND-JFK? It seems to depart at 10:40am until about a week before daylight savings time. It then switches to 11:05am.
The reason I ask is because I often connect GMP-HND and that first flight arrives at 10:10am normally, but they switch it to 10:05am on the same date to meet the min connection time. Just wondering why they make it seasonal and not possible to connect year round (possible year round on ANA I believe).

When exactly does JAL change the time for the HND JFK flight?

8:10 or 8:05, neither would be a MCT problem for 10:40 that's more than two hours. Problem the US is on daylight saving time, Japan is not using DST. So either deoarture time or arrival times of the flights need to shift. Plus prevailing winds in the seasons does have effect on the flying time which needs to be factored in as well.

To answer your question, it looks like Oct 27 is the date it moves back 25 minutes. That's exactly 1 week before DST.
Although what's interesting is that it doesn't seem to switch back next March. It stays at 11:05am.
Also, I couldn't find an official word from JAL on the MCT at HND for intl-intl. For ANA I know it is 45 minutes.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I meant the first daily GMP-HND is arriving either 10:10am or 10:05am, not 8am.

I will be flying JL736 from HKG -> NRT in June.
Can I use in-town checkin on the day before at HK station as it will be conveniently on the way back to my hotel?
Will it save time (flight is in J and no checked bags so probably not a huge deal?)
Edit: Found the answer on JAL website https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/airpo...parture_system
I guess not possible on the day before, but 1.5 hours before checkin counters at the airport open so that gives me more time in the Cathay lounges 
Edit: Found the answer on JAL website https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/airpo...parture_system
Passengers using the Airport Express can check in at the counters in Hong Kong or Kowloon stations from 06:00 until 90 minutes before the flight departure time.

OWS's Baggage allowance in Y
Dear All
Can't seem to get this answered, the checked in agent in SIN couldn't advise too
JAl's website shows that their own sapphire member gets an extra bag of 23kg, do OneWorld Sapphires get it to?
The standard allowance is 2x23kg
So do Oneworld Sapphires get 3x23kg for HND-SIN in Y?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Does JAL allow infant in First class cabin using BA Avios? I am planning to book for my wife and 1 yrsold baby from LAX - NRT - SGN. First leg is F , 2nd leg is J.
I checked JAL website but could not find the answer.
Thank you

you need to check with BA. It’s BA redemption so BA rules apply.

Generally, BA charges 10% of the adult ticket Avios for an infant ticket, whereas JAL charges 10% of the adult fare. However, for the details with BA, as pointed out, please ask in the BA forum

How much FOP can I expect?
Just got off the JL7 flight from Boston and am now waiting for my MH701/JL7093 flight in the lounge. On my e-ticket receipt it shows flight JL7093 with an "operated by Malaysian Air" but on my boarding pass it just shows MH071. I asked at the transfer desk if I can get a new boarding pass with a JL number on it and they said they couldn't and just handwrote "codeshare flight : JL7093" on it. Just wanted to know if I'll get 4173 or 6659 FOP for this flight? Anyway I can make sure I'll get 6659 FOP? Or should I just forget about it and expect 4173 FOP? Thank you!

Most often it would say "Sold as JL7093" on the boarding pass, but not always.
