I am a JGC member, i have credited an AA flight to my JAL account, i should be getting a 35% bonus but I am not, is there any changes that I have missed?

JALPak

JGC without JAL CARD doesn’t get any bonus

Thank you. Even if the AA flight (economy) is booked separately from the JAL F flight, would this would still be the case?

CPH-Flyer

Technically not, though if you come bearing your F boarding pass from the JAL flight it is probably likely to work.

Our HND-SYD for Feb just got improved to 789 Sky Suites, currently in a middle pair - any reason to switch to a side pair as a couple? I do like a window, but the flight timings suggest it'll be all in the dark anyway.

Edit: Looks like the moveable divider is quite a long way forward in the centre pair, so almost easier to converse in the side pair as only one person has to learn forwards?

Hello all!
My wife and I are lucky enough to be flying from JFK-HND in First. Jal 005
Will we be able to access the first class lounge upon our arrival in Haneda? HND is our final destination.
Thanks!

JALPak

No, you won't be able to access any lounge on arrival. The departure and arrival areas are separate.

Hey there, a bit confused by 787 seating options. I'm looking at DEL-HND// NRT-USA flights and would enjoy a 36 hour stopover in Tokyo. Trying to figure out the NRT-LAX and NRT-SAN flights. The SAN flights seem to be on the tilted-seat 787 that is 2-2-2. I flew that to CGK last summer and for that 7 hour flight it was tolerable but really not great for 2022 business class.
LAX flights, the seat map didn't come up (they did for SAN).
Would JAL 62 actually fly a tilted seat on NRT-LAX? I assumed it would be suites (like on my SFO-NRT-SFO last summer). Thanks for any help.
Oh and also-- are there any current local Covid restrictions in Japan? I have 5x Vaxxed but obviously wouldn't be able to quarantine, since I'd be in Japan only 36 hours and will be on public transit.

The NEO seats are not assigned to TPAC flights, at least from a planning perspective one can never fully rule out an aircraft swap, but I would deem sub to NEO very unlikely.

The 787-8 NEO and 787-8 Skysuite (E03 and E12) would look the same in business class if you look at ExpertFlyer. The easiest way to check, is make a dummy booking on JAL and see if it is flagged as a skysuite 787-8. Or on ExpertFlyer, check if the forward economy cabin goes from row 18 to 29 or 18 to 26. The latter is is the skysuite version.

Thanks for those details! As always, you're very helpful.
Of course, making a dummy booking makes me deal with the dumb JAL site: The information you entered is incorrect.

• The initial point of departure is in a different country/region than the site you are currently viewing.
  Please replan your itinerary or make your reservation from the site associated with the initial point of departure.

Please try again later from the beginning.

You make me nervous. My understanding is that JAL stopped using the tilted seat on SAN flights some time ago. I'll be flying it for the first time in December. I just checked my booking on JL066. It says the plane has JAL Sky Suite.

We have the JAL Shell Flat Neo on our flight from SGN-NRT.

JL750/749/79/70 does see NEO seats relatively frequently. The schedule is that the aircraft coming from Narita returns to Haneda, and vice versa. So the two daily rotations to SGN mix the aircrafts quite a bit.

I guess I didn't realize there were 2-2-2 full flat (not slanted "flat") 787s flying, so when I saw that it reminded me of my NRT-CGK in June, which was on the slanted "Shell Flat Neo" which sounds flat but isn't.
