JAL hnd-itm rebooking non changeable flight.
I have a J ticket hnd-itm, sadly the BA flight I’m on from London is 3.5hrs late and I won’t make the JAL flight - it’s a separate ticket. I’d allowed loads of time to connect 3.25hrs but no chance will make it. The JAL ticket is J but says non changeable and non refundable - any advice what to do as need to get to Osaka on 23/12. I now arrive 1120hrs on 23/12 - any suggestions ? Many thanks.

PS. Class J is not J in terms of being business class, but just a more comfortable seat for the flight.

While there are still Class J seats available on most flights, the number of seats left is not large and many of them may get snapped up by upgraders and last minute purchasers. I would call JL now to find out your options and, if necessary, book an alternative flight ASAP.
P.S. I am also flying HND-ITM tomorrow...

Well the trek from the ba gate was long but we made it to the JAL desk landslide in t3 and they put us on the next flight but in Y - last 2 middle seats. They didn’t charge a difference. The buses t3 to t1 are only every 15 mins and we just missed one and got to gate at 1125 for the 1130 - but they were still boarding so all ended well.
