Ten days ago I flew FC IAD to DFW to NRT and returned throught the same cities. The flights were ALL on time or ahead of schedule, the food was very good. the service was very good and the flights, all in all, were great! Perhaps I hit it just right, flying 5 days after the awful grounding problems, but I don't see how AA could have made it any better. Don't worry about taking JAL.....AA is just fine! Let's hope this is a pattern for the future.
