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?

Reading through JAL's posted flight menus and my photos, the midflight snack is only for PE and ice cream is served both directions as dessert for both PE & Y.
I've only done one trip since JL1/2 switched to daytime flights. To HND, CA served the katsu sandwiches from a tray. My photo timestamp shows it was about 7 hours after takeoff. I was napping on and off so it may have been available earlier or on demand. To SFO, I'm not sure when the midflight snack (boxed doriyaki) was handed out.

After a quick 30 min snack time the cabin went dark again.

I just completed a trip and went from no status to crystal and sapphire based on the calculation.
How long before I will see my status reflect?
Will I receive both the crystal card and sapphire card or just the latter?
What about Global Club invitation/registration?

Once you reach Sapphire, the JGC invitation arrives as well. If you are Japan based, pending you have a credit card as well.

What is the relationship between JL and KE? I know they codeshare and JL recently allowed JMB redemption on KE, but none of the KE coded flights will earn miles? Or will they do it in the future?
Looking at a trip between tokyo and seoul and the JL codeshare is selling at 3 times the KE flight, JL also doesn't operate that many flights between the 2 cities, I thought it would be almost hourly similar to ITM-HND.

That is incorrect, you can earn JMB miles on AF coded flights

The status will change as soon as the flights post. As I guess there will be a few flights and thus days between Crystal and Sapphire, they will send a card each time you reach a mile stone.
Once you reach Sapphire, the JGC invitation arrives as well. If you are Japan based, pending you have a credit card as well.

Don't think you will get the bonus on that flight. Probably only flights taken after the status update will get the bonus.

I hope you are right but I'm not convinced yet. However on Sunday will fly from ICN to KMQ on a JAL coded and purchased ticket and KE operated flight. Will report back on whether I get anything after a week or so.
