Hopefully ...I will only do this as my last resort. Hopefully I don't have to do that but if I do at least ANA gives their elites free upgrade to premium economy if seats are available at check in. You will definitely know when I switch...by then you will have to call me ANAPak instead LOLJALPakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275507697266262766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114924665202151676.post-34460255883904906602009-10-08T07:33:40.295-07:002009-10-08T07:33:40.295-07:00Let me know if ANA give you the status match becau...Let me know if ANA give you the status match because I'll do the same.:)<br /><br />Yup, should be a good flight. Was going to fly out of LAX but no 773 on that route yet and it was about $100 cheaper to fly AA DEN-LAX-SFO than DEN-LAX. Only downside is that I have to spend the night in SFO but Priority Club had a Pointbreak special going on so only 5k points needed instead of 15k. Combine that with the 10% discount on my AA ticket and booking my JAL ticket before the fuel surcharge went up and it came out to be a very cheap trip!Black Addernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114924665202151676.post-71451240756902517472009-10-08T00:41:02.821-07:002009-10-08T00:41:02.821-07:00This is indeed a smart move and will help JAL'...This is indeed a smart move and will help JAL's balance sheet. I tried doing the same too but I just keep getting more of them. By the end of the year I should have enough for a transpacific Y ticket LOL<br /><br />It actually surprised me when I called JMB to check upgrade availability on my coming flights. Even the website has zero C award availability, but there are plenty of upgrade seats available. I will enjoy this while it lasts. <br /><br />I think most likely JAL will be around in the long run but I have a feeling that things won't be the same. JAL might become the old JAS which focused on domestic flights and had limited regional international flights. If that happens, I will just ask ANA to match my status (good that my company has contract with *A :) But I hope they will give me the equivalent of JGC and not have me qualify by flying and achieve their Sapphire equivalent status first.<br /><br />And have a pleasant flight, Black Adder!JALPakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275507697266262766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114924665202151676.post-48789861641232393362009-10-07T05:57:37.350-07:002009-10-07T05:57:37.350-07:00I hope JAL is still around in the long run but I&#...I hope JAL is still around in the long run but I'm glad I used my last 90k miles for a C award leaving Sun to MNL. Remember how hard it was to get an upgrade or an award a few years ago? No problem getting seats now less than 3 weeks out.Black Addernoreply@blogger.com
