But, in hindsight, I agree that some corporate deals are very attractive.
My J class roundtrips to Shanghai this year from either Hartford or New York have been between $5500 and $6200 on AA (with our corporate discount). I find that I get a better deal connecting through NRT and flying the first/last leg on JL than when I take AA's ORD-PVG flight.
