There are a fair number of international 737/A320 routes run out of NRT/HND with craptastic business class, in *A. I can think of several on CA and OZ now, NH has some mid-haul 737-700 routes from time to time and certainly the C on their 763 is nothing special at all.

Sure I'm disappointed that UA doesn't have a premium plane on the NRT-HKG route because it's an easy route for me to score my 4x UA metal segments to maintain elite status but I'm happy that they at least have the route now, the schedule is pretty decent compared to all *A except NH. (NH does allow leaving TYO later Friday evening and returning later in the afternoon from HKG on Sunday)
