Earning Status Credits on JAL.

[burrco]

Does anyone have any experience earning Status Credits on domestic flights with JAL?
If I book a domestic F flight does this earn SC at the normal first class level? The reason I ask is on the partner airline class it is listed as:


F (Domestic)
Discount Economy Plus First Surcharge
F (Domestic)
Economy Plus First Surcharge

Does this mean I earn SC at either discount economy or economy rates, instead of F?

As I read it, no you get 100% of QF entitlement.
But the cabin bonus is different depending on the fare basis.
One fare is discounted F, the other is full F. Cabin bonus is 0% and 50% respectively.
See under JAL in:
Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Terms & Conditions

Per this link
http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/jal-status-credits-25018.html

gets F status credits, but probably not the cabin bonus if booked on the upgrade

On an ITM-HND flight I got 251 points and 60 SCs.

I recommend the First experience if you can get a flight

Thanks everyone, I didn't spot the earlier thread and excellent trip report. 8000 yen isn't that much to fork out especially for F status credits.

You will enjoy the JAL service in F..
I also got on went ITM-HND flight and return I got 251 points and 60 SC each one.
And yes for the extra Y8000 its worth it.
Fast flight HND to ITM was about 55mins on a B777. Once we were up the service started, just finished clearing when we were about to land. Try to go at a meal time eg: B L or D I went one way Dinner and bfast on way back.
The cabin crew welcomed you on broad, them the CSM came around also.
Do it for Y8000 its worth the experince!

Well no surprise the AFF consensus was correct. Got 60 sc but no cabin bonus (251 points) and a very nice flight experience.
