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?

Ah that explains it. Yes I connected from JFK-HND. Now that I think about it, she did ask me if I had connected within 24 hours and now it makes sense. Thanks for the quick responses.

I am flying PHX-LAX-NRT-CKG in PY. PHX-LAX-NRT is on AA PremY and NRT to CGK is JAL PY. During the LAX layover, will I have lounge access? Subsequently, on the way home I am flying NRT-LAX on JAL prem Y and LAX-PHX. Is it possible to get into the lounge in LAX after the JAL flight?
I do not have status on OneWorld.

I'll be taking my first JAL business class flight later in the year, roundtrip BOS-NRT. (Thank you for all the help regarding miles I had)
I'd like to use the reserve meal feature, but when I look at the website menu I'm only seeing 'From Japan to destination' listed under the meals except the Kyushu Ramen and Europe Donburi.
Is the menu on flights originating in the US, Boston in my case, the same as of those originating in Japan for that route?
Also is there an a la carte menu I can look at online before I take my flight?

The menus for March and later are not available yet. The current menu (Dec-Feb) for BOS-NRT is available here: https://www.jal.co.jp/inter/service/...812_201902.pdf
I'll check again when it's closer to my flight date for the updated menus.

Apologies for having so many questions.
Been looking at pictures of the Sky Suite Business class product and saw the JAL website had an image showing a yellow RCA port.
https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/servi...kysuite_13.jpg
Will this allow me to get an HDMI to component converter and output video (ie: portable blu-ray player, game system) to the IFE screen?
I'm also seeing review sites showing this port isn't present on all seats/planes. Is there a certain plane model/configuration or aisle/window location that this port isn't available on?

I flew on a 787-8 with sky suite Sunday in a window seat, and did not notice these connectors, but I was not really looking. I'll take a closer look Friday.

The pictures that have the connector on the site are the outer aisle seats, window side aisle seats, on the 77W. The middle seat shown, are from a 787, and don't seem to have them, or at least in a different location.

I also found two separate images of window seats in the 777 where one did and one didn't have the port. Seems to be rather inconsistent and possible they may have removed or added it over the years?
I'm thinking there may be a possibility your observation on the 787-8 may differ from what I'll see on the 787-9.

those are weird and kind of useless input though. You will need get audio from your source instead of the regular seat audio port. And you need some special adapter which probably no one has these days. Lack of usage is probably the reason JL no longer install them on SS9
