Question about JAL baggage policy and JMB membership
The JAL site - https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/inter/baggage/checked/, says econony/PE get 2 checked bags. But then it says JMB members get 3 bags.
What does 'JMB FlyOn member' mean? Do you need certain minimum miles/points? Or does just joining the JMB program as a new user count?
other sites I searched like - https://tikotravel.com/japan-airline...age-allowance/ - also don't clarify what it means.
I'm going to assume the basic allowance (2 bags) but want to be sure what the rules are.

Hello! Sorry to resurrect this thread. I’m a OWE member with Cathay flying Economy from the US to Asia on JL. I was wondering if the allowance is 3x32kg or 3x23kg, since the JAL website is quite ambiguous about oneworld elite baggage benefits.
Thank you!
Thank you!

They extend the same benefits to OWE as their own emeralds. So 3*32kg.
