JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

[Blacksheep]

Having said that, Jan menu hasn't been published yet, but Salon has been pulled from Asia/Oceania routes for a while. I can't see it coming back.

Oh well, flight's in Jan, can only hope. Thanks Sudoer

how(or where) do you guys check for upcoming(or planned) flight swaps? I.e. the October flights to JAL777 previously. Was it announced somewhere?

I was hoping they would announce something for Oct 16 - Nov 15ish

I think some people check expertflyer but since I don't have that, I just check if theres any announcements on AeroRoutes every so often.

Any opinions? I'm on JL51 flying HND to SYD on 27 Oct. According to JAL website and my seat selection, still on the 773.

Is this a revenue ticket or on award?
I didn't see award availability pop up at all.

Looks like paid seats released but no awards?

There was 1 seat showing on SYD-HND for most dates Oct-Mar last night, but nothing HND-SYD.

 

[DejaBrew]

Lots of options to get over there, but as @sudoer mentioned, sadly nothing coming back the other way.

 

[encryptededdy]

There is wide open space on JL51 HND-SYD but only if you search using the non-multi city tool on an itinerary that originates in Australia (that is to say, SYD-HND return)



I'm unsure why it doesn't show if you use the multi city tool, even if searching with an itinerary that starts in Australia / has Australian POS.

This is real bookable space, I was able to call up last night and have them edit an existing booking (QF J award return) to be on JL51 on the return leg instead. This was just ticketed this morning:


Unsure if the call centre can book it just as a one-way standalone.
