6. AA 167 = JFK-NRT-MNL starting 2013?
7. Any other US-NRT/HND-Asia routes?
1) When NRT lowers their landing fees first.
2) JL w/ One World at NRT has removed what they could from a 30min taxi to a 10min taxi. Fuel savings, crew can get rest faster, etc.!
5) Will never happen.
But maybe, KIX and NGO slots will resume....even though ITM is easier, but ITM is not an International airport.
6) JFK-NRT returning and JFK-HND switched to maybe LAX-HND would be a plus (6:50AM from HND are just impossible flights to endure. Did it once ... never again if that early.)
7) AA doing SJC-NRT would be terrific return. It was so cheap that I could domestic it, layover in the winter, fly again, F'n awesome.
