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?

Is there anyway of buying Economy and Business class in the same booking screen? Eg something like KUL-NRT in EY while NRT-KUL in C class in the booking page.
I remember there is the option to buy EY and C class on the same screen before the transition to the current booking system which only allow either EY or C class but not both.

Two questions on JAL Lounge (specifically for KIX).
1. I have a business class reservation that flies into KIX at 6 PM and leaves at 12:30 AM. Will we be allowed into the JAL lounge? I read some blog that you can only use the lounge if the flight is the same day.
2. We have 2 infants on the flights (on lap). Will they be allowed in the lounge?

Any idea why JL 33, HND-BKK is zeroed out across the board in all classes on 12/26/22 (per ExpertFlyer)? I know seat maps aren’t necessarily representative of actual loads, but there are lots of open seats on the map for both business class and economy. Is this an indication the flight is already sold out, that JL is holding back inventory for some reason to sell later, or a sign that JL may be cancelling the flight so it doesn’t want to continue to allow passengers to be ticketed onto it?

Update on my upgrade situation: although at first I was successful in upgrading myself via the JAL website, I just received a call from JAL and they informed me because my JAL Mileage Bank account was opened less than 60 days ago, I'm not eligible to use my Mileage Bank points for any upgrades. Bummer as I wasn't aware of this - so heads up to anyone else, it's a good idea to create an account now if you plan on transferring and using points in your JAL Mileage Bank account.

When you select the class you want to book, you are usually shown the class above as well, so if you select premium economy you will also see a business fare, and you can select premium economy one way and business the other. If you search for economy you will see premium economy as well. Not sure what you mean with EY, whether you are looking to combine economy or premium economy with business class.
I am looking to combine Premium Economy one way and return trip in Business class.
Basically this is how my screen was like when I click Premium Economy in the search flight button (with no option to click multiple class). It will only show Premium Economy with no option for Business Class. Not sure if it is due to region differences or what? However, it will show option for Premium Economy if I click on Economy.
In comparison to MH system where you can mix and match Economy and Business class as an example

I get similar options to the MH one, not quite as wide a range of options, but if I search for premium economy, I see both that and business class. It may be a variance on regional websites, not sure.

It is really odd that KUL point of sale will only show literally the classes you selected only of the classes and not mixture (eg PY and BC together). It just show no availability on days where there is no PY equipped plane operating and forces you to change departure date on days there is PY equipped plane.
Not sure why but it is odd for sure
