JAL Global Club

Japan Airlines has revised the achievement criteria for its JGC Premier frequent flyer status so that it is now based solely on flight activity rather than including mileage balances. Under the change, miles will carry an expiration date, though members holding JGC Six to Four Star status will continue to enjoy indefinite mile validity. The move affects members of JAL's JAL Global Club programme, and travellers are weighing what the new rules mean for keeping their status and miles.
