Bottom line
Japan Airlines premium award space has been exceptionally hard to come by lately when redeeming miles from partner programs. The option to redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points for JAL flights only came online earlier this week, and so far, it has been exciting to see affordably priced saver awards, even in business class, available. But this level of both business and first-class award availability on many of JAL’s U.S. routes over several months is, quite simply, unprecedented.
It is good to be cautious before booking — we do not believe this is a mistake fare and we were able to make a confirmed booking in first class ourselves in order to provide the best advice for you. However, we are talking a lot of points, especially for those coveted first-class tickets, so before you make any credit card points transfers, be sure you have a specific, bookable award in mind. And if you do end up flying JAL first class, it is sure to be an unforgettable experience worth all those points.
