You’ll learn:

• How to set up a free JAL Mileage Bank account (required before searching or transferring points).
• Why JAL’s website can be quirky and what to watch out for during registration (save your member number carefully!).
• How to search for JAL-operated flights using the “JAL Award Ticket” option.
• How to search for partner award flights (e.g., Emirates, Alaska, American) using the “JMB Partner Airlines Award Ticket” option—no special tricks required beyond selecting the partner search.
• How to view calendar flexibility, check award availability, and understand restrictions (like limits on booking for others).
• That searching partner flights may require trying multiple dates, but can yield excellent deals—sometimes even fewer miles than booking directly with the airline.

Despite the clunky interface, valuable redemptions are possible. Support is available anytime through Daily Drop’s email inbox or community lounge.
