What about TPAC eastbound flights, and is the J cabin treated any different? Flying ICN-YYZ in early July. Takeoff is 7pm, less than an hour before local sunset, and the sun will rise before we reach Alaska, 6 hours (maybe 5 -- it's fascinating and confusing reading about altitude effect on the timing) in.
