Interesting report, thanks hauteboy. Would you rate Okinawa as worth making the trek to from the rest of Japan? I'm slightly fascinated by it but I can't quite articulate why. It also has a reputation for being not all that interesting, and chiefly a place for Japanese to escape the cold without leaving the country. Would be interesting to get your take on that.
Nice work on the op-up on AA - but my god what a miserable, dismal old First Class product that is. Do people really pay for this? And that sad, sad food. Yikes.
