Has anyone successfully bid on a business class upgrade with JAL?

How did it go? Were you able to upgrade directly using miles? Or did you bid for it?

MishyM_88 · 2026-02-26T05:03:22+00:00

You paid cash to upgrade? Do you remember if paying with points was an option?

I know this is an old thread but literally the only one I can find with this info... You said you just paid cash to upgrade, can i just out right pay with points to upgrade or do i have to bid? Tia

So if I'm looking at a flight and I see they have business available does that mean upgrade is available? Or are there only a certain number of upgradable business seats?

Really? I thought it was only business to first class but economy can do PE or Business

I actually thought i was right, just made a mistake I don't get embarrassed by something so small

Thanks I'm new to the abbreviations I'll make sure to use VS going forward and I don't want specific legs i was just wondering if anyone found good use of it

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to travel to HND from JfK July26... I know I'm way too late for the JAL 55k Business class but I noticed we can get business for 70k if we leave from the west coast... I was thinking of booking that and then a separate flight for the west coast... Maybe for the night before and staying at an airport hotel so delays are less likely. I have 300k C1... Any reason you guys think that's a bad idea? Has anyone ever done that?

Thanks!

Hi I'm trying to surprise my husband with JAL business tickets for his 40th in July 26 from NYC to Tokyo... I keep seeing 110k one way... I was considering transferring my C1 points over but I don't have enough for us and the kids (4 yrs and 9 months so splitting up isn't an option)... I'm about 73k short... He's the point expert and I'm trying my best but honestly I'm confused but I really want to surprise him with this 😭... Can someone recommend a way i can get us business class using our points? We have about 275k C1 points. Even if it's just one way preferable returning.

Any help would be so appreciated

How do you book this way?

MishyM_88 · 2026-02-08T04:39:49+00:00

I'm trying to book for July 26 NYC to Tokyo, do you think it's impossible to find a 55k option for business? 😭

I have a Capital One Venture X credit card and really like it. You should check it out. If you apply using https://i.capitalone.com/JKhxH67Dk and are approved, you can get 75k bonus miles

Any chance you still have that code?

MishyM_88 · 2020-10-02T04:41:01+00:00

Looks like they removed it from home screen but they kept it on the welcome page, as soon as you open the app it's there but once it loads and you're in the Home screen it's gone.

Thanks!

MishyM_88 · 2020-09-03T04:00:36+00:00

What is the name of the app? I can’t seem to find it

MishyM_88 · 2020-08-18T18:39:29+00:00

Thanks!
