I don't think this is a stellar deal... I think SD (and comments) have increasingly gone downhill over the years

FYI, JAL to NRT on 787s is 2-4-2 configuration with much more leg room and wider seats in regular economy than american carriers. It's sometimes on sale for 8xx. Something to consider if you don't want a third party.
Having said this, if it was just the wife and I going to Japan again, I would probably spend the extra money for premium economy if tickets were in the $1,500 range. I wouldn't spend it with AA though. The last I remember, their planes are a little tight to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if premium economy was similar to economy on JAL
Zipair is more around $600-700 range for LAX-NRT for a basic fare (seat and light carry-on, no meal). There were a few time when Zipair dropped their fares to $400ish. For those who travel light, zip air is a reasonably good option.
I would rather take a JAL economy flight than go on American Airlines again.

I still think you get much better deals flying into Narita airport. I know it's not as convenient as Haneda but it's not hard taking the train where you need to go.
Paid $784 for roundtrip LAX to Narita on Singapore airlines for the holidays. It's not premium economy but I think Singapore Airlines is the better airline compared to American.

Domestic BE has gotten better, $99 to get a full refund. Used to be no refund/credit at all.
But international BE is still 0. Unless something has changed recently.

Also you described flying an international flight like it's a southwest flight. Which is already high anxiety during a Southwest flight. Others preferences would like to have seats already picked and not have to worry about that during an international flight. It's just preference and peace of mind.
Why does your post and post like it, bother you how and why people spend their money. Obviously people like this post enough that it's on the front page. Because if people didn't like it, there would be negative likes, and it would still be in the forums.
