I have to go to PEN and when I saw SEA-TPE-PEN in JX business for 85k AS miles I jumped on it. Little did I know I was going to be on the inaugural SEA-TPE flight! First time I've ever christened a route with any carrier. I could skip the dodgers baseball they handed out on the inaugural LAX flight. How about a Mariners hot dog?

I'll be doing PEN-SIN on SQ in business a couple days later and JL's business SIN-NRT-SFO a couple days after that so I'll get some back to back taste testing with the competition. With how tricky getting award availability on JAL to south east asia is - I'll gladly make use of JX as long as it lasts.
