Japan Airlines Launches a New Service to Support Air Travel of JMB Customers with FLY ON Status during Pregnancy and after Childbirth
Tokyo May 25, 2016: Japan Airlines (JAL) will launch a new service to JAL Mileage Bank (JMB) customers during their life stages including pregnancy, childbirth and child’s growth.
During pregnancy and on/after childbirth, some customers with FLY ON status may have to decrease the frequency of air travel and thus are not able to maintain their status.
This new service aims to provide customers concerned with smooth travel experience. On and after childbirth, customers with FLY ON status (*1) can apply JMB Crystal status for a maximum period of 12 months, which will provide them with various services including check-in at priority counter, priority boarding and access to JAL’s airport lounges.
JAL wants to support our customers’ travel during the important moments of their life. With the aim of becoming the most preferred airline in the world, the airline will continue to develop and provide customers with more innovative services.
(*1) FLY ON status is a program that is offered to customers who frequently fly mainly with the JAL Group flights. Various services are available depending on their status (JMB Diamond, JGC Premier, JMB Sapphire and JMB Crystal) including bonus miles per flight and access to eligible airport lounges.
