Yeah I'm not sure what is going on. F shows as available on a simple LAX-JFK search. I wouldn't let it affect booking this personally though, JL F at this price is worth flying AA J instead of AA F on that one flight IMO. You can try calling much later and switch to a different flight, if it poses an issue.

. Enjoy the JL F, enjoy the Salon but give the Royal Blue Tea a try too, it's fantastic if you like tea ^.

YMMV. Some of us have been getting credit for years when both carriers are partners, regardless of the codeshare flight number being out of the published numbers. If you do a search on the AS board, you'll find a lot of anecdotal success receiving credit in these situations.

For those who want to credit to AS, I suggest keep your boarding passes and e-tickets and manually ask for credit after your trip - you would need to email these documents to AS. Just don't expect to earn miles on a JL-operated and AA-marketed, as it's very clear on their policy that the flight has to be marketed and operated by the same partner carrier (eg, AA-marketed, AA-operated or JL-marketed, JL-operated). If they give you credit, that's great, and if not...well, at least you tried.

Since I am flying the ICN-LAX leg of my trip this year, my plan is to take the LAX-JFK-LAX legs and the LAX-ICN leg and send them to AS next year. My hope is that since they have to credit the LAX-JFK-LAX legs, theyll overlook the fact that the LAX-ICN leg is on JL metal and credit me that too.

I will never fly ICN / NRT / TPE unless I have to. GMP / HND / TSA are much more convenient.

Of course, the ideal would be GMP-HND-USA, but JL only flies to SFO from HND for the continental USA, which means an extra USA connection for those of us not located at a destination AA serves nonstop from SFO. Pick your poison I guess

Long term lurker and grateful for all of the information. Managed to book SEL-TYO-JFK-TYO-SEL. The flights to and from JFK are showing in First in the AA and JAL manage booking sections online but I cannot actually book specific seats for those flights. Is there a way to do this online or do I need to call - JAL or AA? Have been able to book specific seats on each of the SEL-TYO flights (in business on 788).

Agreed, but I would prefer going straight to ICN and flying ICN-NRT-USA, rather than GMP-HND//NRT-USA for sure. I personally have had no issues with ICN, although I haven't tried to take a cab there...3x A'REX and 1x limousine bus.

Ya exactly, being based in LA, it didn't make sense to do that even though I could connect. The extra time connecting would basically amount to the time I would spend making the longer commute to ICN. People based in SFO really lucked out with the GMP-HND-SFO routing for convenience. Although I do remember reading that because the HND-SFO route departs at midnight, the meal service isn't too great
Oh wow thats much better.
