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?

They have clearly subbed a 77W with one of the refurbished 777-200ER. This has been seen before when they have a 77W out for unscheduled maintenance. Last I heard about it was on the LAX route. That was before the refurbishment of the 777-200, so somewhat of a bummer.

I'm planning trip to Hokkaido. SIN-HND and HND-HKD on separate JL tickets. As this is an international to domestic transfer, I understand that I need to retrieve my bags and re-check them in HND.
Question: Will I be able to still obtain the boarding pass for HND-HKD in SIN? (Booking that segment on the JAL Japan Explorer Pass fare, which doesn't allow pre-assigned seating, so I'd like to check in as early as possible).

Think JA742J is the reason. It hasn't been out since it finished JL001 on Nov 11, at last according to flightradar24

I'm a bit confused about FLY ON points. If I'm flying a biz class Z fare on LA or JJ and credit this to JL, would I get any class of service bonuses for the elite qualifying (FLY ON) points or only for the redeemable points?
Is my understanding correct that I need 50k FLY ON points to be able to get into the JSC club? (being from outside Japan)
Thanks.

It doesn't matter whether you're from or outside of Japan, 50k FLY ON points (half of that must come from JL Group flights) is needed for JMB Sapphire but it doesn't mean you'll get an invitation into JGC (JAL Global Club). There's a clause that specifically states: "Please note that a membership invitation may not be sent in some situations." Rules can change at any time at their own discretion.

The planned connection is only around two hours so I won't be getting the headstart that I'm after but I appreciate the reply anyway.

YMMV...sometimes they could sometimes they couldn’t. But that’s before the Amadeus switch though. But either way it’s just a short flight. You will survive even a middle seat in Y

So it is rather the exception that doesn't get the invite. Things such as if you work in the airline industry, you are not likely to get it.
That said, it is pretty easy to get hooked on JAL, with pleasant flights and courteous services.

Trying to complete my flight history and have gone back and found an old boarding pass from 2010 for JL51 NRT-KIX. Most sources I've found show it was operated by a 737-800, but I was seated in 58C. I'm thinking it may have been operated that day by a 747-400? I would've came in on JL17 YVR-NRT on a 747-400. Any chance anybody remembers or has a copy of an old JAL timetable from 2010?
Thanks in advance!
