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?

OW Sapphire Seat Selection on JAL
My friend has ow sapphire (not on JAL, if that makes a difference), does he get access to some blocked seats? For example, 1K or 5H/K on JAL's 77W, according to ExpertFlyer's seat map. I know JAL tend to block 1A and probably 5A/C for emerald, but does sapphire at least get some seating privilege?

if JL website not showing them as available then you can’t assign those seats. If this is codeshare, then what AA can see is what you are able to select

Is it possible to book a specific fare class? When searching for a ticket, it only allows me to choose N or K... nothing in between. (Looking to buy a fare that allows seat selection but not wanting to go all the way up to K.)
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Not really unless you contact one of the call centers or a travel agent.

Interestingly enough, if you look at West Jet's homepage, JAL is listed as a codeshare partner, but not as an interline partner. The text about interline services is about bookings covering the full trip. Bit still better ask.
