This was a very memorable flight – so I distinctly recall the meal.

The seating in F was 2x2 in an old configuration 747. My seatmate was a prominent Japanese executive who engaged me in conversation throughout the entire flight.

He flew this route in F every two weeks for years – so the crew treated him like a VIP. They were very surprised that he was being so friendly to a Gaijin, and made a big deal that I was "brave" enough to try the fugu.

The fish was just OK, and I probably would have enjoyed the waygu beef more.

It was a great flight nonetheless.
