No priority check-in for business class at CTS
I was on a flight from CTS to HND this past weekend in business and there was no business class check-in counters for JAL. When I asked the ground staff, they said only First Class and OW Emeralds (maybe Sapphire as well) could use the priority check-in counter, and had to wait in line for at least an hour to check in. In comparison, ANA at CTS has priority check-in for first, business, and *G.
Don't regularly fly JAL, is this the case for other airports?

The first class check in is only for Emeralds, but I thought the Global Club counter should allow Sapphires as well. But yes Class J does not have a separate check in as far as I know.

If you were on an international ticket, and connected directly to the international flight, they should have sent you to the check in counter for international connections. I have never done that in CTS, so i don't know if there are Premium counters in that section.
