Over the last few years I've seen AA 77Ws showing on ExpertFlyer on the DFW-HND route, but those might have been placeholder schedules that got canceled as pandemic-related cutbacks occurred. I don't know if the 77W ever actually operated the route.

They were flying to Haneda, but only in summer schedules I believe.

Otherwise.. seat is great. They were serving Yamasaki on the flight and very generous pours.

anaggie and britishcanuck Did you receive J service and ammenities while in rows 1 and 2? I grabbed 1D&G for our flight in a few days and am curious what it will be like. We're on an AA J award and booked back in January.

Saw a F award on JL11 for June 2024. Just to be sure, it will be normal F service, right? Hopefully the aircraft sticks and not downgrade to non-F and leave me flightless (like they did during Covid).

Summer 2024 schedule has not been finalized. If JAL finds a better use of the 77W somewhere else, they will deploy the plane to that route. There's no guarantee, all these summer 2024 schedules are just placeholders.

Looks like JL awards on this route are released shortly after 8pm (Eastern Time). I believe the are releasing all but two seats. SFO-HND is the only other route - so far as I can tell - where JL releases some unsold F seats, although not at T-14.

Any predictions on when the Summer 2024 schedules will be released?

This swap of the 77W from ORD-HND to DFW-HND strikes me as odd. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall AA ever flying F to HND/NRT from DFW?
If there’s a premium F market in DFW that’s prompting JAL to pull F from ORD-HND and move it to DFW why didn’t AA ever tap into that market?

Flying today, 10/25, on JL11 in F and the Flagship lounge agent said I did NOT have FF Dining access (she looked at her computer screen). It doesn't open until noon, anyway, so no big deal.
The breakfast spread is limited, but I do appreciate the champagne and bloody mary bar!

Setting aside that the departure time doesn't allow it in any case, Leff mentioned in a 2021 article that JAL had the requisite partner agreement to allow JAL first class passengers access to FFD at DFW (while noting that there weren't actually any first class seats available).
