Releasing a JL F and J seat on JL3 6/23 into the wild! Hoping someone from the community is able to enjoy this last minute availability should it pop up on AA/Cathay/elsewhere. Had to unfortunately cancel these last-minute.

The PJ is yours to keep. I guess I'd say a light sweat shirt in thickness.

On that note, I kept the F PJs (they fit nicely and I like them) but they also gave me a nice set of B&O headphones on request and never collected it! I didnt take it home, obviously, but most airlines would likely collect them before landing but not JAL. It was nice, since I got to watch a bit more of the movie before we deplaned.

Theyre definitely not thick. Like a heavy heather tee in thickness.

American no longer collects the B&O headphones prior to landing.

JAL never collected the headphones in J and F. I think I have only had that with AA, but I could be wrong as I usually always travel with my own.

Hi, does JAL release the same award inventory to different programs? Specifically, I have Asia Miles and was looking at F redemption 1 year out. Can find 1 seat, but not two (ex ORD or JFK). I also have a bunch of Marriott points I could convert to JAL and book another ticket if that's possible, though I sort of doubt that will work.

JAL Saver Award Availability

I'm looking to book a J ticket on JAL JFK - HND for late August next year. Based on my reading of the JAL award table, a one way on that route should be priced starting at 55k points. I've been checking for a couple days now availability released for 360 days out on that route, just to get a sense of how competitive those fares are. From what I can tell (I've been checking at 11am ET sharp) it doesn't look like the 55k point awards are actually available. The best I'm seeing is 75k awards, but not infrequently 100k - 110k prices. I'm assuming the 55k awards aren't getting snatched up immediately (maybe I'm wrong!), so are the "Saver" fares not being loaded into the system or am I fundamentally misunderstanding something?

Thanks!

Found a multi-city itinerary where essentially I am paying around 4200 USD for one way from HND to JFK on JL6 late March next year. Is cash price 4K worth it for the first class?

Compared to the regular price for first class, it is pretty good. It it worth it? That is a very individual question.

If I could connect it to something else that I anyway needed to do, I might consider it. But as a standalone, with necessary repositioning for a one way etc., I'd probably not. But that's just me.....

Yeah basically I have to fly to Seoul first and go back to HND but considering it's in the middle of the sakura season I doubt I could scramble a A35K F award ticket close in especially for a fixed travel date.
