Japan Airlines Mileage Bank award chart
oneworld
One-way points by band and cabin, as we've compiled it from the official source. Figures exclude taxes, fees and carrier charges. This chart prices partner-operated flights booked with JAL miles — not Japan Airlines Mileage Bank's own aircraft, which use a separate chart.
Partner awards use a distance-based chart with refreshingly low surcharges compared with European programs. JAL's own premium cabins to Tokyo, and oneworld routings that exploit the distance bands, are the highlights.

Frequently asked
- How is the Japan Airlines Mileage Bank award chart structured?
- The Japan Airlines Mileage Bank chart is distance-based: the points price depends on how far you fly, grouped into mileage bands. Longer flights cost more, and the band — not the specific city pair — sets the price.
- What's the cheapest Japan Airlines Mileage Bank award?
- On the fixed bands we track, economy starts from 25,000 points one-way, and business from 48,000 points one-way, before taxes, fees and carrier charges.
- Are these points one-way or return?
- All figures are one-way. Japan Airlines Mileage Bank (like most programs) prices reward seats one-way, so you can book each direction separately.
- Do the points include taxes and fees?
- No. The points figure excludes taxes, fees and carrier charges, which are paid in cash on top of the points and vary by route and airline.
