SWUs/Miles upgrades are plentiful on this route, I am surprised more aren't taking advantage of this route - maybe its new? Anyone have experience on this route?
Sounds good. Until recently LAX-NRT was the A330, but of course the 777 is much nicer. I'm surprised that upgrades are so easy; this had been the case for LAX-HND but not LAX-NRT.

I hope NRT-LAX does customs in T5/6 rather than being bussed to TBIT upon arrival at T5 the way HND-LAX does. Ick! It's a miserable way to end an otherwise pleasant long flight.
