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!
I'm booked to fly LHR-HND in H class next week, with the return HND-CDG-LHR, also in H (M for the CDG leg).
I'm trying to establish how many BAEC tier points the trip as a whole will generate. BA calculator says 40 for each Tokyo leg, but other places say 80, which is what I was expecting as it's a flexible ticket class. I'm assuming the BA calc is correct but thought I'd see if anyone knows otherwise? I'm 205 from Silver before this trip, so will determine what I need to do in terms of tier point run before December.
Thanks!

We are booked to fly FRA-ALC (Alicante, Spain) on September 29th, 2022. This is after arriving from Johannesburg at FRA the same morning. Just read that September 29th is one of the scheduled days for Spanish airport strikes. I checked with Lufthansa South Africa and they had not received updated information yet. A bit worried and would like to hear from anyone as to what we should do at this stage.

If you are looking at JL35 or JL38, they are still suspended due to covid capacity reductions. If you are looking in the period November to January or February, as they are currently planning the schedule and lots of flights are zeroed until they know what flights will be operated.

About to book a JAL I class ticket via AMEX IAP, however when looking at the FCO earning calculator, it mentioned The mileage accumulation rate is 70% when traveling on agent organized tours in Business Class , any one have experience if AMEX IAP will post 125% FOP as regular I class or only 70%?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks all! I purchased the ticket today, the reservation detail page shows Acccumulating Mileage of 13,268 miles, which is a little bit fewer than the number 13,606 I got from the calculator with 125% accumulation rate, I guess it will be fine.

Rathee than a second rotation to HND, my guess would probably be more flights to Narita for connecting traffic if JFK sees an increase in flights.
