Hi all,

Please HELP ?

I am booked in J class NRT to BNE in late Nov. As JalWays are to be flying this run will J class will it be better/worse now that they will be on the route back from Japan?

Should I change to Qantas? I have 2K booked as my seat, will it still be full J service?

Thanks on any thoughts re this change and/or my seat in J?

Kind of doubted because JALWays aircraft shares the same configuration with JAL, perhaps with minor changes.

JALWays to me seems to have lower operation cost so that's why JAL decided to transfer BNE-NRT to JALWays.

I'd say it's a good news unless you prefer B747-classic metals, since those 'doped' metals are sticking with BNE route.
If I were you, I'd be skipping around my house for a joy
