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?

Yeah, that’s one crappy lottery these days 
I mean we can check the menu on the JAL site for an idea over the next three - four weeks, but I can’t always shift my work trips by two - three weeks just to get toro, lol.

Don't know if it's the right place to ask, I have a redemption ticket issued by CX (Asia Miles) on (only) JL flights into Haneda on 12th plus a domestic connection next day. Anyone knows if JL would usually do rebooking/rerouting for us in case they cancel the flight, or we would have to revert to the ticket issuer? Thanks in advance.

Slightly O/T but *sigh*.. what great luck do I have :/ the last time I flew from TYO on intl flight was Sept 9th, and now my flight on 13th has been cancelled and rebooked to a much later flight resulting in what was supposed to be 2 full day, 1 night weekend trip becoming effectively just a day trip.

The Saturday flight from Seattle needs a Saturday flight from Tokyo to come to Seattle first. The afternoon flight from Tokyo is not that likely to operate. But keep an eye on the inbound. That will be first sign of trouble.

The plane is landing in Seattle today and the return is already canceled. So I expect the plane to sit overnight and be available to fly back to Tokyo Saturday--unless they also cancel the Seattle-Tokyo flight tomorrow too.

Today's flight was canceled at midnight--so about 14 hours ahead of time. Looks like tomorrow's still isn't officially canceled but I've decided to connect through a different airport and take the refund from JAL.

While not printed on the boarding pass yet. JAL seems to have introduced boarding groups.
Group 1 is F and emerald, 2 is J and Sapphire, and then I did not stick around for the next groups. But I did notice that Crystal (OWR) has been kicked out of the second group.
