Eliminate the need to go to the airport in the event of irregularities with your booked flight. With just a smartphone, you can view your reservation, display your boarding pass, receive cancellation and delay notifications, , get rebooking information, and process refunds.
Global Travel Fintech company KabuK Style Inc. (Headquarters: Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, CEO and Founder: Kenji Sunada, hereinafter referred to as KabuK Style) has conducted two demonstration experiments with Japan Airlines Co., LTD. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku , Tokyo, Japan, Representative Director, President: Yuji Akasaka ,hereinafter referred to as JAL), and has established a direct system connection without going through other services. HafH(a travel subscription service operated by KabuK Style that allows you to stay at accommodations around the world for a fixed monthly fee) enables instant JAL reservations and promotes the digitalization of airline service functions.
With the vision of “Using the power of technology to redesign travel worldwide to make it more accessible,” KabuK Style is committed to moving to the next generation of services, enhancing services to meet evolving and diverse needs, solving challenges for providers, travelers and agents, and ultimately making travel easier, more integrated into everyday life and more convenient.
We will provide digital support utilizing direct system integration for JAL flight reservations through HafH (hereinafter referred to as “this support”). With this support, you can shorten the check-in time by receiving a two-dimensional barcode (e-ticket customer receipt) notification. Additionally, timely notifications of potential irregularities (such as cancellations or delays) and their occurrences will allow for seamless handling via your smartphone, from rebooking to refunds. Therefore, even in the event of unexpected cancellations, delays, etc., this support contributes to reducing the number of irregularities handled at airport counters from the supplier’s perspective, and from the agent’s perspective, it enables them to allocate time to other cases.
Furthermore, from the traveler’s perspective, not only can you grasp confirmed information about cancellations, delays, etc., but also their potential occurrences. This allows for smooth handling aligned with your own schedule via your smartphone without the need to wait in line at the airport counter.
Eligibility for this Support:
Individuals who have made flight reservations (JAL domestic flights) through HafH will automatically be eligible.
Irregularities such as Cancellations or Delays:
The reference criteria for airlines (JAL) that can be booked through HafH and may be affected or require special handling are as follows:
・Cancellation of flights
・Weather investigations, conditional flights
・Cases where the airline (JAL) deems special handling necessary (natural disasters, etc.)
・Delays of 30 minutes or more, etc.
1: Notification of E-Ticket Customer Receipt with a 2D Barcode
After making a reservation, we will notify you of the 2D barcode (e-ticket customer receipt) on HafH’s flight ticket reservation details page. On the day of your boarding, please scan the barcode at the security checkpoint and boarding gate. This will shorten the check-in time.
2: Timely Email Notifications of Cancellations, Delays, etc.
After the airline has made a decision regarding flights that may be affected, HafH will promptly notify the registered email address of the relevant person through automatic notifications.
3: Timely Notification of Impact on Reservation Details Page in case of Cancellations, Delays, etc.
After the airline has made a decision regarding flights that may be affected, HafH will display the potential impact on the flight ticket reservation details page and notify you in a timely manner.

(No charge)
