JTA Oneworld Benefits
 

Hi all,

I am booking a flight from Okinawa to Osaka and there are options coming up for JAL and JTA. I am looking to book in Class J. Will I get any Oneworld Sapphire benefits on JTA or am I better to book with JAL?

thanks!

you get the normal stuff on ground. priority boarding, lounge, luggage
i dont remember if theres priority security and priority checkin, but u can use it if they exist.

they are pretty much the same but JAL may use wider bodies than JTA.

JTA operates 737s only. I guess that is the main difference as JAL is likely to be a 767 or bigger.

JTA is a fully owned subsidiary of JAL, and all Oneworld benefits available on domestic Japan flights apply.

Slightly off topic.
JAC isn't a Oneworld partner.
However, you can use lounge.
I registered my BA FFP number to ITM-TJH. ITM lounge reader of boarding pass accepts my entrance.
And, priority boarding is granted. Yes, it is an aircraft with 36 passengers.
I realized JAC isn't a partner, when my BA accounts rejects ITM-TJH flights (Even BA Avios calculator shows ITM-TJH 18 Avios for N and Q).

So, even JAC behaves as a Oneworld partner in terms of lounge and prority boarding. why not JTA :-)

talking about which, you cant redeem the JTA flights with avios.

but benefit wise JL aknowledges your status and gives you everything as if you're a JL OW Sapphire member

???
You can redeem JTA flights by with Avios.
At least, you can redeem JTA flights by calling BA.
Many Japanese blog discuss JTA flights redemption.

maybe thats why. i couldnt search and prob hv called in for those but have just forgotten
