Japan Airlines has updated its lounge usage policy at LAX.

According to JAL website, JAL business class passengers are invited to use the Oneworld lounge instead of Los Angeles International Lounge, the non-alliance/Eva's lounge starting from October 25 2009. I would say this is an upgrade of lounge service for business class passengers. This is probably has to do with the lounge of the Premium Economy cabin on LAX route. This differentiate the lounge service offered to the passengers in the two different cabins.

Bloomberg reports that Nikkei.com has a article regarding coming Japan Airlines flight suspensions. According to the report/rumor, JAL will suspend 16 international and domestic routes by June. JAL will submit the plan to transport ministry after getting JAL's board approval this week.

According to the European Airline Scene blog, JA743J left Paine Field for delivery to Japan Airlines on October 28. It flown to Narita as JL7901. So JAL now finally has received all 3 773's this year. We will see JA743J in service very soon. Let's see if I am lucky enough to fly on it on my next flight :)

As of October 6, JA743J, third and last 777-300ER to be delivered to Japan Airlines, wasn't quite ready for delivery yet.
