Great review! Hope you get more followers because I really enjoy your videos. Plus I know you're not some sellout (like other airline reviewers) so thanks for the honest review!
Honestly amazed you were able to book this with Alaska miles. Feel like whenever I browse on Alaska for JAL flights there are next to no offerings. Any tips?
I got super lucky and actually booked this maybe 2 weeks from the flight date. What are you using to check the routes? and which route are you looking at? I wanted to fly to phoenix but there's no good deal direct to phoenix so I had to book 2 separate flights to get this good deal
@@JimmyVisitsWorld From what I gather being in that two week window is the key. Seems like more long term booking just isn’t available. I’m looking for direct to Tokyo from the west coast which you’d think would be plentiful but there’s just never great options if you want to be booked well in advance.
@@Duckmancer gotcha! depending on where you're based out, some of the reasonably priced routes would be to sea, sfo, lax. you can try seats.aero or roame.travel to find the best deals. if you decide to sign up, please let me know and I can send you a referral code so we both get a discount!

What seat were you in?
JL's 2-3-2 in business class is not that good compared to the other Asian airlines.
I think in this particular plane it’s a 2-2-2 config. 2-3-2 JAL planes have the middle 3 staggered
