Does anyone know if YQ will be charged for a one-way ticket JNB-DXB-SFO in Biz? I have called the JAL 800 number and have been listening to their music for like 30 mins now. Don't know if they are ever going to answer. The ITA fare shows about $500 YQ, but not sure if JAL is charging it for tickets originating in any region, or only for originating in US.
Thanks...

I did some search for my upcoming HKG-DXB-GVA (open jaw+stopover) <=> MXP-JFK, and it returns with 0 YQ. I know this is different than a round-trip, but in theory your YQ should depend on point of origin.

I think so. You could check your itinerary on ITA Matrix and get an idea about how much YQ is needed.

Edit: This won't work because of this rule: "“Point of origin” and “final returning point” may be different provided those cities are in the same country. (China includes Hong Kong and Macau.)"

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get this to price out on one itinerary on ITA so can't see what the YQ would be. Perhaps its time to give JAL a call...

Has anyone successfully been able to get them to honor the old fuel surcharge rates or transfer their points back to SPG?
My fiancee and I transferred over a collective 350k points a few days before the system upgrade. We called in to book flight the day after the system upgrade and they told us partner award availability was not available and to try again in a few weeks. I tried again a few times over the next two or three weeks only to find that once it was back on line, Emirates fuel surcharges were now $1,500 vs. $90 previously. Needless to say, we're pretty upset as we would not have transferred our points over if we were made aware of this change beforehand.

quick question about 1 year ticket validity. I could take 1st part, ICN-DXB-BKK this April then taking 2nd part, HKG (OJ from BKK)-DXB-either JFK or IAD on Feb or March 2019. I wonder if I have to wait till March 2018 to get under 1 year or I could just simply pick something now (earliest is late Nov 2018) then change it to new date later?
I assume ICN-DXB (stopover)-BKK (stopover)-HKG (OJ)-DXB-IAD/or JFK is legal?

JAL Mileage Bank - JMB Partner Airlines Award Tickets
One award ticket is valid for travel on one of the following partner airlines
This award is applied for using only ONE airline.
So, you can't combine EK and JL in a single award.

FWIW, confusion comes from here:
"Additionally, even though JAL partners with both oneworld carriers and Emirates, you cannot mix and match Emirates with other oneworld airlines, or other partner airlines. This is partly because Japan Airlines has a separate award chart for oneworld redemptions. You can, however, include Japan Airlines in the same itinerary with Emirates."

At least a Japanese FAQ clearly answers this.
JAL - ?????????JAL?????JMB???????????????AA????????????? ?????
Q. Can I combine an outbound JAL and an inboud AA ?
A. Oneworld award permits. However, for a partner airlines that doesn'tjoin oneworld, round trip itinerary has to be the same airline.
