Japan Airlines announced they will expand its code sharing agreement with Mexicana, another Oneworld carrier. Starting from January 14 2010, JAL will add "JL" codes on MX's Los Angeles (LAX)-Leon/Guanajuato (BJX) and San Francisco (SFO)-Meixco City (MEX) flights while MX will add "MX" code to JAL's San Francisco (SFO)-Tokyo (NRT) flights. Also, MX will also increase its Vancouver-Tokyo and Vancouver-Mexico City codeshare frequencies from January 18 2010. Below are the detail schedules of the new code share flights.

Japan Airlines flight 011 has to cancel takeoff AGAIN today due to the SAME engine problem experienced yesterday. JAL has to cancel the flight and they are going to fly another plane to Mexico City so passengers can continue their journey tomorrow. This is kind of unusual for JAL but this is better than finding the problem while they are across the Pacific :)
