JL's best F is on JFK-NRT in terms of 'equipment.'

CMB is a city that offers cheap J, F tickets on CX and SQ as well. With prices out of BKK rising (UA is shortly downgrading fare classes), the best 'air fare' city appears to be moving westward again from HKG to BkK and to CMB.

A civil war has been going on there for quite some time and yes, last year, the airport was attacked and civilian flights were temporarily cancelled, prompting CX to fly 747 thereafter to load all the passengers left out in the fall. But otherwise I guess, it is a manageable place, logistically, to get air tickets.
