What is JAL Family Club?

JAL Family Club (JALFC) is a membership program for JMB members who move to a country outside Japan in order to fulfill a work assignment, study abroad, or for any other reason. There is no annual fee to participate.
In addition to the standard JAL Mileage Bank services, JALFC members can combine their family miles to redeem for awards, earn bonus miles when flying on JAL flights, take advantage of special baggage allowances, receive invitations to special events, and enjoy other exclusive benefits and services.
