Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster.
Discovered these neat fares on a recent trip to Japan. JAL offers 'Class J' on most domestic routes which is closer to a PE in product (no lounge, no food service, etc) but earns QFF status credits at full Business class rates.
A couple of short calculations I've done so far..
* Economy class only on these flights, but they're under 50 miles so the yen/SC rate is quite good.
The prices quoted are straight off the JAL website on random dates in October this year. JAL "Ultra Saitoku" fares are cheapest 55-75 days prior to depature. I plan to search more routes later today/tomorrow to hopefully find a few more gems.
Edit: Check out post #31 for an example day-run earning 320SCs @ $3.10/SC
Cheers
