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?

IIRC, they only allow 1 domestic segment with 1 international flight. If you need the 2nd domestic segment, you'll need to book a 2nd international flight.
Or you can book the 2nd domestic on a separate ticket like below.
Ticket 1: KUL-NRT//HND-ISG-HND//NRT-KUL
Ticket 2: HND-OKA-HND

My flight from NRT-MEL in December seems to have been switched from the Apex Suite to the Flat Shell neo configuration, is there any chance they switch it back closer to departure? I'd much rather have the nicer seats for a 10 hour flight.

I guess we can still expect some route adjustments after Japan opens, which may also result in some fleet reassignments.

Questions:-
On the booking website, I am invited to select my inflight meal. When I look at the choices, the options are all dietary requirements. I do not have requirements, and so, am I meant to leave the select option incomplete/blank, or choose my diet preference regardless (eg low carb, no diary etc.)?
If I have a front row seat in my cabin in economy, is there still inflight entertainment (as there is no seat in front of me for the screen to be apart of).

Depending on plane, and which specific seat you have, there will be a screen in the armrest or on the bulkhead.

If you have no dietary requirements, there are two standard meal options you pick onboard. Unless you are flying to Seoul, Busan, or Taipei where there is probably only one option.

Pre order of the regular meals in economy is not available. If you need a special meal, you can select that.

I was looking through the JFK airport information to figure out how to reach Terminal 1 if the AirTrain station is closed, and came across this very strange comment:
We don't have an "immigration bureau" or any form of outbound immigration check in the USA, so what on earth are they talking about? Does this mean I need to check in at the counter for a passport check even with a OLCI electronic boarding pass, and if I don't stop there and just go to the gate, my reservation could be canceled?
Also, I did not see any option to pre-populate my booking with passport and pre-check details in advance - I assume this is not possible until OLCI?
Even if you have a boarding pass for flights JL003/JL005, you need to present your passport information to the Immigration Bureau in advance of your flight, so please visit F counter in Terminal 1 in order to do so.

A quick update, first segment of the my IAP JAL ticket just posted, it did earn 125% fop, so IAP is not treated as tour ticket.

I'm from Hong Kong and currently as they finally removed quarantine hotel I am back to flying!
I'm CX MPC Gold and I have been eyeing the JGC to keep JMB Sapphire level, and seeing if I can make it happen next year. Have two questions:
1) I would like to ask if post flight credit (up to 6 months) will credit to the new year. I've some flights in Nov 2022 and want to credit to 2023 since JMB seems to count on calendar year.
2) Also saw they have the double FOP promotion till end of year... Would I be able to claim the double FOP restrospectively? Or alternatively if I request on Dec 31 maybe I can get the best of both worlds since it takes a few days to credit?

In terms of redemption or paying ticket? Any examples? Maybe some of the more experienced folks can chime in.
