Ticket Changes
Hello, I am flying with JAL from HND>LHR>OSL in biz. Does anyone know if I can change the LHR>OSL segment (BA operated) even if currently i just have a 4h layover? I want to spend some time in London and don’t want to travel all the way immediately. Thank you for your help

It really depends on your fare rules. It probably comes with change penalty, stopover surcharge, and fare differences. If HIP kicks in, it can significantly increase the fare difference.

Hi, I live in the UK and have booked an internal flight as part of my trip to Japan. I have been charged Tax for my flight - am I able to claim it back? If so does anyone know how?

Thanks

No, you consumed your domestic flight while in Japan, so you have to pay the consumption tax.

LOL, certainly never heard of that anywhere in the world. But even if it were so, domestic flight taxes here are miniscule. I just looked at my most recent domestic ticket, 710 yen for Domestic Passenger facility charge and 1340 yen for tax. That's ~$13.75 or ~£11.22.

Certainly wish claiming back taxes as a foreigner was a thing, my most recent RTW ticket has a solid $500 in government taxes and airport facility charges.

It was a thing. If you connect from/to an international flight within 24 hours, the domestic flight was exempted from consumption tax. But things have changed since then, at least the way how JAL system handles this has.
