The problem is, based on my intense searching of Dec, 2016 inventory, most dates exUS have 2 F on JL when the window opens and not snapped up for a while. While you're lucky to get one 1 F on CX at window open.
So the problem is not of miles needed, but of inventory available if you're traveling with a partner.

You may get the seats on certain departures. But not the service.

Will either CGK or SYD have F returning during the winter 2017-18? I always thought that these were seasonal F routes. The USA JAL site currently lists these routes with 777-300ER equipment until Oct28. I have an AONE4 and it would be nice if one of those routes had F.

Frankfurt used to be the route alternating with Sydney for F service, but that has now gone permanently J only. Where as all the other routes have been F all year round.
If New York does not perform, anything can happen. Bangkok got a month of F in between Sydney and Jakarta stopping and New York starting. Maybe that is an indication. Who knows... To early to guess really.

Oops, missed that one, yep.
I have a late July flight on SYD-NRT and it's just been downgauged to J on a 789.
My early July flight from CGK is still holding, but JL has zeroed out all F space on CGK from March 1 onwards, so I'm somehow not particularly optimistic.

CGK is already confirmed to lose F from the summer Schedule. JL3/4 is being upgraded to have F, they need 2 77W frames to do that. One from SYD and one from CGK.
