Speaking of preselection of meals, flew First class DFW-HND. First class was full and had been full for some days. The purser indicated six Japanese options were loaded and six were "preselected". I expressed my disappointment and proceeded to nap for four hours only to wake to the Japanese meal option. Needless to say the Japanese meal is now preselected for the return flight. The return flight is HND-JFK so the meal should be well worth the effort.

Rhetorical, but if six first class passengers preselected the Japanese option wouldn't JAL load at least one more Japanese meal option?
