Can you point me in the right direction for reading/updates about the award chart changes?
Also, can anyone confirm if I book a one way award in Emirates First class, originating in Europe (MXP), what the taxes and fees will be? My experience on other carriers, is that these fees and taxes are much higher when originating in Europe.

As far as the taxes from Milan--if someone here cannot help--should be able to call JAL to book a dummy award to get an idea of taxes.

New question...According to that chart and the JAL award mileage distance based calculator, the one way cost for the NYC-MXP route is only 45,000 for a First Class Redemption? Is that right!? Calculator says it's 4007 miles, which on that chart is 90k RT or 45 one way?

Good stuff. Looks like I dont have to worry about the taxes and fees, because it says max taxes is around 50 bucks.

To give you an idea--My taxes (one way) for JFK-MXP-DXB-DOH (stopovers in MXP and DXB) in F were about $70US.

so, 90k one way.
return Total trip distance (mile) = 8014 miles, 100k miles.

Everything I have seen says you can book a one way for half the cost of the round trip?

This is true. But their mileage chart shows that for a trip of 4001-6000 miles will cost 90k miles in F. A trip from MXP to NYC is 4007 for a one way and 8014miles for a RT and cost 100k. Which is a steal given that it cost 45K for one way.

Please study the chart Mark!
4007 miles for one way, so, 90k miles one way.
8014 miles for return, so 100k miles return.
Just 10k miles difference between one way and return.
got it?

Probably would be good for a mod to put a sticky note (or wiki or whatever they call it here) on this thread noting the stopover situation, the fact that it's not about one way or return, but distance flown, etc.

It doesn't require a mod to make a wiki. You just have to have enough posts.
