Great! now I have extra miles on my upcoming flights during the summer :) Thanks JAL!

Now a little bit of history...

JAL began its Los Angeles service on May 28 1959. The first flight was on a DC-7C aircraft and passengers had to go through Honolulu. Today JAL operates one daily direct flight between Los Angeles and Tokyo using 744 (two daily if you count the codeshare flight operated by AA on 777). It will soon upgrade the aircraft to 777-300ER in the coming November.
