If this flight is going to be filled by Z fares, it is not going to last that long.
SJC oferd 60 % reduction in landing and facility costs the first year and 30% the following 2-3 years. They are also providing free advertising and other options to promote the flight.
Connections on the NRT side is going to be important for this flight. I can see connections to hong kong, singapore, vietnam and possibly china. On the SJC side, it will be almost all O&D.
It will be interwsting to see how they will deal with the lounge issue.
