I'm sorry for some off-topic, but is there any list of airlines that use that route?
I know Finnair (for example AY68) is also using only west routes from and to Japan, but other European airlines seem to use the "east route" for their return from Japan (AF, KLM, LH, ...).
Is this because they are too far south (compared to London and Helsinki) to make a big difference?
