Noted that the policy displayed online states they will only be able to through check baggage if the booking across the diff carriers is on a single ticket. In your case above, it is certainly 2 separate tickets. Anyone can confirm if through check was successful?
*Edit:but the 2nd half said they " will continue to honor all tickets, including those with different PNR/booking codes, and make best efforts to provide through check-in service in compliance with the industry rules/procedures to the final destination. "
so i am not sure...

I've booked a MEL-NRT-ORD business ticket on JAL, with the idea of connecting (2.5h connection time) onto an economy AA flight ORD-ATW that I had purchased using miles -- so two separate PNRs.
I know I need to pick bags up in customs, but given I am moving 3x bags and the limit at 70lbs, do you think JAL will allow me to tag the bags to ATW if I show them the separate PNR? Two phone calls to both JAL and AA reps seems to all say no, they can't be tagged, but this forum seems to suggest otherwise. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

oneworld adjusted its policy back in June. Now JAL has finally posted its policy online.
JAL will continue to provide through check-in service between oneworld carriers even if you are on separate PNRs but other oneworld carriers (e.g. CX) may not do the same when you are connecting to JAL on a separate PNR.
JAL - Member airlines of oneworld alliance have changed their minimum requirements for through check-in

Though I am not sure how the customs flow works between US and Canada, and whether that affects anything. The is pre clearance in YVR for US bound flights, right? I don't know what that means for the practicality of luggage when connecting.

I'm assuming you're originating from another city in the US, transiting in JFK, and traveling to Japan. It really depends on a few things, is this all on 1 ticket or you bought 2 separate tickets between your domestic and international flight? If it's the former, your luggage should be checked through. If it's the later, it depends on carrier's policy whom you bought the ticket with.

It was asked earlier about a B6 interline but that was a next day flight issue. I arrive in BOS at 1800 and would fly on a second ticket with B6. I know the policy only promises OW tickets, but has anyone had any success with interlining on B6?
EF says they are interline bag partners. Would be nice to not have to pay the bag fee.

You will need to reclaim the bag for customs clearance when entering the US, and the hand it off to B6 before proceeding. Either there, or at the gate, your bag fee will most likely be collected.

Even if JAL checks you through, I doubt that will excuse you for the bag fee.

I always assumed the fee is paid to get you a bag tag. Once you have that, they assume payment is made. No?
