NRT ORD Award Travel in F

Two quick questions. I've got a million JAL miles I can use from an Amex account and am wondering.

1) How are the JAL F seats on the NRT ORD route.

2) How easy is it to book JAL award tickets in F.

JAL Suite

You need to be extremely flexible and F awards usually don't open up far in advance

Tks. I'm pretty flexible. Do they usually open seats close in?

Sorry one more question. Can I book AA award tickets through JMB. It looks like they have plenty of availability in F.

Yes. But you can't waitlist on AA awards.

You might be better off booking AA awards with AA miles given they don't charge YQ on JMB awards. But you can't waitlist on JAL flights

Tks. The Amex miles are only redeemable on JL, CX, and SQ.

Yes ANA also but only 80k miles per year. JAL is 150k miles per year. Turns out I actually have 2 million miles worth of points so it's going to take a while to burn through them.
