JAL finally introduces ticketing service fee in overseas regions

Japan Airlines has announced the introduction of ticketing service fee in overseas regions starting October 1 2009. The ticketing fee was first introduced the ticketing service fee in Japan on April 1 2009. I am actually surprised they haven't rolled out to the other regions sooner.

The fee will depends on the region you are in and the location you issue/reissue your ticket. In general, it will cost you more if you want to issue the ticket at airport counter when compare to doing this at JAL reservation center. The fee for issuing a new ticket ranges from FREE in China to 60 Euro at airports in Europe! It will cost either 2000 yen or 4000 yen to reissue/exchange for each ticket. However, this service fee DOES NOT apply to award tickets :)
