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?

Not that rare, and the FAs wont even bat an eye as long as it is USB-powered or powered by small size batteries (no large batteries to deal with), QUIET (not a strangely noisy fan that would disturb the cabin).
YouTube search it and you will see examples of people with USB fans on the JAL international flights.
I personally have a small hand-held AA battery powered fan, a popular item to have to cope with the hot Japanese summers, and I use it on JAL/ANA flights when needed.

I'll do some research and grab a couple before our trip. I'm used to layering up on planes, so this will certainly be different! Try to get window seats on the right side westbound and left side eastbound to avoid solar heating as much as possible. There's a thread about cabin temperatures and mitigation strategies

Hello. I'll be flying LAX-NRT in a couple weeks in F. Flight leaves at noon. I see that there's a codeshare operated by AA to HND that leaves at 10:30 so would that imply that the JAL ticket counter will open at 7:30? I'm hoping to get to the Qantas lounge as early as possible so as to be able to have a great breakfast and let it settle fully before a great meal on the flight. Thanks in advance and apologies if this is a stupid question.

Is it a know bug that you can't pull up domestic tickets on jal.com via manage my booking? Made 2 bookings last night and still unable to pull them up, the system is just giving me a general error "A system error occurred. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please try again later." Checkmytrip shows both of the bookings confirmed and they have been charged from my CC.
Is there some other way to update my FF number for the bookings? Not too fuzzed about anything else.

We have a two ticket flight coming up, JAL arriving from the US at around 4pm in Business and then a separate ticket on Singapore also in Business departing around 8:30pm. I've always been Oneworld to Oneworld so never swapped terminals, looks like we'll arrive in T2 and transfer to T1S. My wife likes to stay put in a single lounge, I like to lounge hop. When we go through transit security is it going to be possible to visit the Oneworld lounges in T2 then do the bus transfer over to T1 and settle in the ANA/United lounge a couple of hours before our flight? I'm reading the bus is about 10 minutes between the two, but I also remember Narita being quite spread out just walking from Transit to the single lounge.
If possibly how long would it take to get from the Sakura lounge in T2 to the ANA lounge in T1?
