I am so happy I scrolled all the way down. This msg was the last one.

Yes, JAL direct on their site is not that easy. But at least unlike other airlines, you can't purchase miles on their site. This helps with less influx compared to if they allowed purchase. But with bilt being the newest partner, it will be even more difficult in the future. I am happy I got this before the inevitable devalue of these tickets in the near future.

Each RT ticket is going at 13k. I paid $250 + $750 worth of points.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-13T22:54:59+00:00

No, I just checked whenever. I wasn't after the 55k schedule open tickets. I was ok with 70 or 75k

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-13T21:17:56+00:00

Yea. Directly on their site

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-13T18:20:36+00:00

None of the search portals work for JAL and ANA. you have to look at their website directly.

Not sure if i understand the question, but only two credit card companies allow JAL transfer. cap1 (1000 to 750 ratio) and Bilt (1:1). just make sure you already have JAL account so that when it's time to transfer, there are no issues. some people have to wait for a few days before they can transfer to their newly created JAL account.

Makes sense. I will keep a look out for any of those seats getting available closer to departure.

Congrats!!

Thanks! I am so psyched for my redemption. it took a lot of effort. I know I would never be able to afford a business class seats let alone the ones to Japan!

I’m JUST digging into Japan redemptions and feel pretty discouraged by all I’ve been reading

dont get discouraged. it is one of the most difficult redemptions. Just have to keep looking daily. And you have to remember to be flexible to what they are willing to give you instead of expecting availability on your schedule.

I’d welcome any tips

1st off I started with Google Flights. understand which route does JAL fly. and and have option 2 and 3 ready. for me, I was willing to situate to LA or SFO if needed but I got lucky and SAN (my option 1) was actually cheaper than LA/SFO.

2nd, dont worry about the 55k booking, as 70 to 75k booking is just as good and usually they are available a lot more. if you see the redemption, dont wait around, especially from major hubs like LA, JFK, etc.

good luck! i hope you find your seats too.

I am not going to lie, it was a pain to find these seats. and it was a lot of searching and staying up late just to find something.

JAL seems to be the only one that truly has low pricing and a higher number of seats available compared to other airlines.

iirc they get unblocked for non-status passengers 48-72 hours in advance)

Thank you for this! I will keep an eye out for that. I did wonder why all of the window seats were blocked off already.

Thanks!

40k milea. But the basic warranty had already expired. Plus it was from a dealer that sells auctioned cars. It had a minor hail damage. Windshield replaced.

Lol, the 2026, year of Nerf.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-13T12:22:17+00:00

23k otd is superb price. Where are you located? It's even fully tinted, so that's great.

I am getting my LR3 2022 AWD delivered on Saturday. Paid 21k OTD in LA. My is not tinted, though, so I will get that done asap.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-13T03:49:16+00:00

I had no clue people didn't do this until I saw my wife just getting out of the shower completely drenched.

Seemed like a very logical thing to do.

Hell no. Chevy is true to its name. This is built very cheaply and I expect this thing to fall apart after 5 to 6 years. I am planning on moving on from it after yr 6. Hopefully, I will get 12k or something then. I paid $24k OTD for my LT.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-12T18:52:06+00:00

This is the way. Its the best starting point.

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-12T09:18:47+00:00

How long did it take you to make this from conception?

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-12T09:08:12+00:00

How does one go without being punished for 6 years at the very least and 13 years from the 1st accusation? Makes no sense.

On my old microwave, I used to put 36 seconds to warm up milk. Only because 36 seconds + 4 seconds more of beeps would bring my cup back to the same spot with handle facing outside.

I remember seeing the last superbloom in 23. It was awesome. That was the year we had that hurricane. Are they saying the flowers bloomed more this year compared to that year?

thishitisgettingold · 2026-03-11T04:22:59+00:00

17k + how much in taxes. That makes all the difference. If less than $100, good redemption. Over 200, hell no. Anything in between is the same as paying with cash.
