My suggestion is to try and find a VIP, take AA, and upgrade to first. Otherwise, CX unless you want to go somewhere else in Asia and need an extra segment. Some dont like the tilted beds, but I like the flat over the cradle any day of the week. But I would do AA first over either just for the beds. The one flight I took to Japan was mixed. The beds were nice, the food was good, the wine was okay (except the plum wine which was a treat), but the FA was very very strange. It wasn't long after 9/11 and I suppose it's justifiable that the FAs would be a bit skittish but some of what she did was just very odd. In any event, AA F is nicer than CX J so that's my suggestion.
