MEL-NRT arrives at 3:15pm, and NRT-ITM departs at 6:25pm, from what I read there should be plenty of time to make the flight. Yes I considered the lounges in HKIA too. But the MEL-HKG flight arrives at 2:55pm, and HKG-KIX departs at 4:40pm. Not sure if enough time to fully enjoy the lounges!

Hi All, Heading to Osaka from Melbourne. Options are : 1. JAL 787-9 MEL-NRT, NRT-ITM arriving 7:50pm. 90k QFF points + ~$425 tax 2. one day later, CX A350 MEL-HKG, HKG-KIX Arriving 9pm. 104.5k QFF points +$320 tax Alternatively, there is a CX flight same day as JAL, but the timing is probably...

Anyone redeemed JAL flights return from Aus-Japan? J seats are ~$425 in taxes per person. Return would cost minimum $850 and 180k points Is that still good value in your opinion? Cheers

Hi All, fiddling with flights returning from Tokyo to Melbourne. I have Aeroplan, Velocity, and Qantas points. Will be travelling with my wife. Thinking of these flights in J: NRT-TPE via EVA, 30k Aeroplan points +~$80aud per person TPE-MEL via China Airlines (CI), 75k Qantas points +...

OP Here. Guess I will have to find out myself as I just booked MEL-ITM via NRT in JAL J for next year for my wife and I! Taxes stung but keen to experience JAL J for the first time. What are the best seats for couples? Would it be the middle seats - noting the annoying divider at the shoulders...

If you go to Qantas multi-city tool and key in SYD-HND for the latest available date (21st Oct in this case), the calendar view will show up to 28th October.

Am I doing something wrong? Just purchased a month of seats.aero pro. On Qantas website, there are J seats for SYD-HND end of October 2025. However, I have tried multiple searches in seats.aero and it doesn't show dates up to end of October? Seems like the latest date it is showing is 20th October.

That's good you got CI for both flights. CI seem to have removed QFF redemptions from TPE-KIX.

Is it a similar sentiment for Business class?

Hi All, Looking at a dummy booking from Melbourne to Osaka in J with QFF points. Option 1 : China Airlines (CI) A350 + Cathay A330. Night departure, layover in Taoyuan airport in the morning. 105k QFF points Option 2 : JAL 787-8 to Tokyo, then a domestic 737-800. 90k QFF points. Which would...

Hi All, Will be taking my first SQ J flight in a few months time. I booked the A350-900 Medium Haul flight. However I would like to hear your personal experience of both/either. Assuming it is a non-bulkhead seat and travelling with partner. I have read that the 777 seats are at an angle, is it...

No only flying in December! Hopefully no changes

Does that indicate I shouldn't have to worry so much then hahaha

Seems like JAL has been monitoring our forum activity :D

Why was he not bumped to the later flights? SYD has the curfew which makes cancellation more likely compared to BNE..

Seems to arrive 8:20am looking at virgin’s website for January departure

Have you has that happen before? I booked the tickets via aeroplan, so in the event of a delay not sure how easy it is for them to swap me to the other flight

bummer - is there any confirmation that JAL will use the A350 on these flights after? Or is it just 787 and J all the way from now on?

Can't seem to see SYD-HND F both ways 1 year ahead? Previously in July could still see good availability

Thank you. Changing the MEL-BNE leg to 2 flights earlier will cost $110 per person. If it were you, would you pay to change?
