Yes, I went to the JAL site as well, and could see only the first 2 segments ( ICN-NRT-JFK). I was not able to select seats for either flight, but they do show the correct classes - business for the first leg and first for the second.
I will try to call for seat selection some time in the future, my first flights are in May,
and return in Sept.

You can find JAL's PNR in the itin confirmation email. Using that PNR instead AA PNR to check in JAL website. You need to call AA to select seats for you for JL operated flights anyway.

I will probably credit to QF, depending on whether there is a bonus for AA points at the time. My trip is ICN-NRT-JFK-DFW-MSY | MSY-CLT-JFK-NRT-ICN which is 760SC and the renewal for QF Platinum is 1200 (OWE). For a first timer, QF Platinum is 1400 and QF Gold (OWS) is 800.
If post your itinerary someone will be able to work it out for you.

How did you even get JAL.com to show all your segments? I can't even see the details of my tickets on JAL.com let alone select seats. I just see one AA flight. JL agent said that the full itinerary won't appear on JAL.com until 72 hours prior to departure. She also could not select seats. On the other hand, AA agent was able to select seats on the codeshare JL fights. The seats selected were all row 2 so definitely First Class TPAC.
Seats even assigned automatically for my return LAX-NRT-ICN leg in July which was nice. Also if this deal is very well dead and gone, RIP. And thanks OP for posting this, you made a lot of flyertalkers very happy including myself

Jeez, and I JUST confirmed some conflicting schedules to book this prior to the fare expiring. Thank you eager, non-veteran FT sweating bullets for no reason...Waiting for the next opportunity to experience JAL first.

Sorry you missed out but FT veterans know never to assume that any good deal will last more than a few hours. And since this sucker was fully refundable and changeable, there was no reason not to book and then make changes later to fit your schedule, or cancel entirely.

also, book first, ask questions later. even on nonrefundable fares, they are typically cancellable within 24hrs of purchase.

This fare lasted WAY longer than one would expect it to. I thought I was fortunate that it was still around 12 hours after it got posted (when I booked), and yet it lasted a good while after that...

Agreed. Was surprised to see it still available last night.
Always remember Flyertalk rule #1
Book First, Ask Questions Later
