oneworld Yokoso fares
hi I tried searching on the oneworld yosoko fares and couldn't find my answer.
i was looking to buy a yosoko fare (I understand that it books into Y and has advanced seat selection). Question is, how do I book this?
Do I just call up any JAL office?
How much is the booking fee involved (because the explorer fare can be booked online, but i understand it books into G which doesn't allow advanced seat selection)?
I'm in HKG and if anyone knows of a local TA that can do it without a booking fee, would be grateful too...

That's the price you pay to pre-select seats and with better availability 
Have you called JAL Select? They charge less if you have 2 sectors only

You can also try JTB and HIS. Other options would be calling a JL office that doesn't charge booking fee or charge less.

What you are looking for is Yokoso (not Yosoko fare).

Bit OT, I was trying to book the Japan explorer ticket (G class) for HND-ISG
And it give me a price of 9449HKD!!! I hope it is a glitch, as I tried other destinations, even OKA is giving me the normal price.
Strangely, the booking code it gave me for ISG is YKU, not even the explorer code
