For me, flying is a really cool thing that we are able to do pretty regularly...over the course of history we're pretty much the first generation (okay, well 4th or 5th now) to be able to do so. Flying through the clouds (my last flight we were sort of skimming over the tops of the clouds for 5 minutes or so, giving a great sensation of our real traveling speed), the views, etc., all are very fun for me. Others are like "meh". Which I can understand. I don't get hyped about riding on a bus (a bullet train, though...lotsa fun). I must say though that the business class experience, from start to finish, does make the journey seem so much more elaborate and exciting. From enjoying the lounge to sitting down and being offered pre-flight champagne or orange juice, to actually being COMFORTABLE lol, all add something for me. But I do agree that coach is just coach, pretty much. Ditto for short-haul first class, I wouldn't pay extra for THAT tiny slice of nothing.

53	barboy Sat 1/5/2008 9:45a	"I like the hustle and bustle of the airport, watching all of the other people," Ya, I got to say I find myself people watching all the time at international airports--- there are people from all over the globe walking around and it is really quite a cool spectacle looking at all of the ethnicities and culturally based garb/jewelries/hair styles. What is interesting to me also is the planes are pretty much all the same, the crews have more or less the same type of training and skills but each airport is dramatically different from another--- there is no "standard"--- every airport has its unique layout or configuration which keeps me on my toes; it's fun!

If they do, then the upgrade is often $1500 to $2000 PLUS lots of miles. I'd rather sit in Economy Plus and have a few more vacations than pay the extra money and miles.

Before I made it clear that all airlines are pretty much the same to me and that I basically couldn't discern one from another. JAPAN AIR ROCKS! All passengers get: A.unlimited French wine B.unlimited beer C.continuous and perfect service up and down the aisles D.personalized movie and music lineup with state of the art screens and sound. E.access to an area where ice-cream sandwiches, nuts, chips ect. and all drinks are lined up for those who want to stretch legs and stand for some self service and conversation with other passengers---- great for long flights. Ok, it's official now----- I definitely do have a preference of carriers.
56	schnebs Fri 2/29/2008 10:33p	I remember flying JAL on my first (non-Navy) visit to Japan. I was really impressed by the amenities and the level of service, so I had a look at JAL's airfares when I was shopping for tickets. Yikes!!!
57	Mr X Fri 2/29/2008 10:50p	Yeah...unfortunately the Japanese airlines charge a hefty premium. Otherwise, I'd always use them (ANA is excellent as well, I had the opportunity to fly twice on ANA while on business). I flew Japan Airlines to Okinawa once though (as well as JAS on the way back) and it was nothing special.

OMG OMG OMG i love this im going in summer to japan and for a month obviously also to Tokyo Disneyland for 5 days seems like the flight will be awesome yes im going in JAL :)
59	Mr X Mon 4/28/2008 6:38p	Barboy, are you describing business class or economy? I read it as economy until I re-read the "personalized movie and music)...that's something I've only seen offered in the Business Class cabin before. Just wondering (if true, that's awesome, and especially cool for ernieb lol).
60	barboy Mon 4/28/2008 8:58p	I'm talking economy---- and the personalized movie and music was limited but still you get to choose which you want to play (maybe 15 to 20 movies and I didn't really check out the music selections but from what little I saw it looked like several choices were available). Japan Air whenever possible will be my battle cry--- that company has their stuff together!
