I was leafing through a copy of OutTraveler magazine at the local B&N and noticed that the back cover was an advertisement for Japan Airline's SkySleeper Solo service. I know that this is the 21st century and that many other airlines have marketed to the G&L market, but I think of JAL as being a bit stuffy and behind the times in terms of marketing, so the advertisement came as a pleasant surprise to me. Banzai, JAL!

In the magazine I couldn't help but notice that Starwoods, Hyatt and Hilton each had a full-page. Hello, Marriott????
