It was 9am Aussie time so no booze was consumed. I did wake up at 4:30am on the plane though... Such a change compared to the LAX T7 UA "lounge" just hours before.
I had one CX F redemption, which was amazing, but besides that, I've burned an *inordinate* amount of Avios on domestic JL. The flights are plentiful, availability wide open all days (except "convenient" flights around the holidays), and it's wicked for a quick getaway anytime you feel like it. I've explored more of Japan by plane than by train or car. Did you know there is a desert with camels, the world's oldest hotel (two of them, in fact), Easter Island statues, and a mini-Niagara, complete with the horseshoe-shaped vortex? There really IS *everything* in Japan.
