Your suggestion of passing through NYC again (enroute between S.America and Egypt) is absolutely brilliant! ^^

I would very much appreciate advise re JL vs AA in J from GRU to JFK. The last time I took JL J on a 747 (YVR to NRT), there was a delicious meal but precious little legroom ---- fine for a day flight, but cramped for an overnight. I recall that there are a half dozen or so 744 JL configurations, and I imagine that each may be substantially different one from the other. Has anyone recently taken the GRU to JFK JL service?

I'd also very much appreciate a reconfirmation that RJ remains a high quality product on their TATL service (given that I've never taken it.....). A recent first-hand account (or a link to one) would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks!
