JGC

In 2024, Japan Airlines (JAL/JL) launched the innovative "JAL Life Status Program". This is not only an airline's frequent flyer mileage program, but also a comprehensive lifestyle improvement program. This plan crosses the boundaries of traditional aviation business and extends to various diversified service areas of JAL. Its purpose is to enhance customer loyalty and participation by providing a wider range of services.

In sharp contrast to this plan is Japan Airlines' past "FLY ON Program". This old program was mainly aimed at frequent flyers, allowing them to accumulate flight miles to gain the opportunity to join the exclusive "JAL Global Club (JGC)", which provides a semi-lifetime membership. JGC is so attractive among aviation enthusiasts that many people will engage in the so-called "JGC practice" - this group of aviation enthusiasts will carefully plan flight itineraries to meet the club's entry standards at the lowest cost and time.
