Of course. Every single one of those requires getting off a plane in AMS or Japan. I'm just (1) needling you a bit, and (2) continuing my ongoing tirade against "direct" flights that aren't very direct. Your OP just goes to show how 99% of pax--even super-smart FTers like yourself--mean "nonstop" when they say "direct."

Down with the airlines' "direct" BS!!!
