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?

Sky suite window seat selection
Hi,
I have a JAL segment booked as part of a QF award in J. I'd really like to get a window seat sky suite, but they all appear unavailable, so I assume they're kept for JAL frequent flyers. Would I have to wait until online check-in opens or does JAL usually release them for everyone at a specific point in time? As a comparison I know SQ releases seats 4 days before the flight for non-PPS (so 3 ays before online check-in opens).

Hi,
I was looking at CDG<>HND flights lately and had written down all the dates where "cheap" premium economy was available (at 513€ per segment for the direct flight). Now 5 days later all those dates have increased to 561€.
Since all dates have stepped up their prices at the same time and of the same value, it doesn't seem to be directly connected to availability at each of those dates. So what could this increase be about, and could the fares return to their status from 5 days ago? Thanks

When accumulating JMB Flyon points, what is considered a Jal Group flight (as opposed to a OW flight)?
1) A flight sold on JAL website operated by BA/AY with a JL flight number
2) A flight sold on JAL website operated by BA/AY with a BA/AY flight number
3) A flight sold by another carrier operated by JL with a JL flight number
4) A flight sold by another carrier operated by JL with a BA/AY flight number
1) A flight sold on JAL website operated by BA/AY with a JL flight number
2) A flight sold on JAL website operated by BA/AY with a BA/AY flight number

For 1, it also applies to flights operated by non OW airlines. E.g. Bangkok Airways with JL flight number, or Emirates with JL flight number.

... which is the opposite how Star works, so have to be careful. On the upside, as long as your ticket is sold by JAL (and all flights are JL), you can get some pretty good JL metal FOPs far beyond where JL reaches out to - something like SYD SIN NRT would work if your QF flight was with a JL number, which is pretty cool.
