Japan Airlines international fare classes
On JAL and JTA international flights, the miles you earn (flight mileage) are the sector mileage times the accrual rate of your booking class. Each flight also earns a flight bonus in FLY ON Points. The last column shows what the same letter earns on a Japan domestic sector of an international ticket.

FLY ON Points
FLY ON Points decide your JAL level. They are based on flight mileage (sector mileage times the accrual rate), multiplied by route, plus a flight bonus per JAL Group flight.
| Route | FLY ON Points |
|---|---|
| Domestic flights within Japan | Flight mileage x 2 |
| JAL flights between Japan and Asia, Oceania or Vladivostok | Flight mileage x 1.5 |
| All other international flights | Flight mileage x 1 |
- Flight bonus: per JAL Group flight, as shown in the class tables above. Award tickets are not eligible.
- Which airlines count: JAL, JTA, RAC and the oneworld member airlines. Miles from non-oneworld partners and bonus miles do not count.
- Asia and Oceania: JAL does not publish a country list, so these follow cwsi's reading of JAL's “Asia, Oceania”: the calculator counts East, Southeast and South Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands (Guam and Saipan included), and the Middle East, Russia (except Vladivostok) and Hawaii once.
Example: Tokyo Haneda to Bangkok in J is about 2,852 miles. At 125% that is 3,565 flight miles; times 1.5 is 5,347, plus the 400 flight bonus makes 5,747 FLY ON Points.
