BOS is one of the few international gateways that I can count on regularly finding AA award space to (it's often harder for me to find award space from DCA to JFK or ORD than it is to find TATL/TPAC partner space in a premium cabin). And, with the upcoming AA devaluation I'll probably be flying J more than F.

I know that a lot of people complain about the angle-flats but I don't sleep on flights so that doesn't really matter to me. More importantly, looks like this flight gets the usual great JAL service and catering. And maybe one day they will put different equipment on the route anyhow (I forget for which routes that is in the works).
Thanks! As someone from Bos, I'm loving the Intl expansion that's been happening over the past few years (and hopefully more to come!). The angle seats will be going away in June when JL upgrades to a 789, so we'll have fully flat J, Y+, and the best 787 Y product too!
