How to check upgrade availability
 
I have a ticket booked FEB 17 JFK - HND in PE E fare and return on FEB 21 HND - JFK in PE E fare. I have a friend that is willing to sponsor JMB miles if there is availability. Is there anywhere I can check availability online or does we need to call?


Thanks

Your friend can only use miles for upgrading of family members.

... maybe the friend was in fact a long lost brother or sister.🤔

Calling JAL is most accurate way.
However, basically, IMHO, if business class award is available at basic miles (50000miles), probably upgrade award is available.
For 17Feb, JFK-HND requires 101,000 miles (5 seats remain)
For 21Feb, HND-JFK requires 50,000 miles (lowest basic miles, 2 seats remain).
So, you have good chance of HND-JFK flight upgrade.
