It was LAX-NRT on the first segment, if that makes it a bit easier and I've met up with a friend [and had one night] in TYO before continuing.

baggage allowance differences will make JAL hesitant (politely decline) to do it.

I have a flight from NRT --> LAX arriving @ 11:00AM with JL and then I'm planning to book a separate ticket from LAX --> YYZ departing @ 1:35PM with Westjet. Will I be able to link the tickets or at the very least avoid having to recheck my baggage at the Westjet counter in LAX?
I tried calling JAL and they said to ask the check-in desk at NRT, but sounds YMMV.
Thank you!

Do note that even if JAL tags it all the way through, you'll still need to reclaim your bags at LAX to go through customs and drop your bags off after. I'm not familiar with Westjet's operation at LAX if they'll accept tagged bags for recheck immediately outside of customs or you'll need to drop them off at the ticket counter (and possibly recheck them even if they have JAL tags all the way through).

I am on two separate tickets, the first one is on JL from LAX to NRT in J, and the second one is from NRT to SYD via NAN in J on the same day arriving Narita. I am not a Japanese citizen, so I cannot enter Japan now. How likely the agents in LAX help me to check through baggage directly to SYD?

My best guess is 'maybe'. I probably would not count on it. Unless someone has actual experience.

I am so glad to find this topic. with the recent JAL schedule changes to Taiwan, we are forced to overnight in HND (not looking forward to this unless the transit hotel reopens by June) and purchase a separate ticket for TSA the next day. Our first ticket is with JAL ORD-HND (award), second ticket (completely different booking) is HND-TSA with CI, Are we able to tag our bag all the way to TSA at ORD?

I am looking into that option, but JL code share price almost doubled CI, anyway to book JL code at CI price?
