JAL offers helicopter service Narita to Tokyo for premium passengers
OK, this looks too good to be true. For travelers returning from the US or Europe, JAL seems to be offering helicopter transport from Narita to Tokyo to first class passengers as well as business class passengers traveling on full fare, Business Saver, or Business Saver 14 tickets.
ANA offers this too, but I think it is offered only to first class passengers.

I can assure you this is not an April Fools joke 
JAL announced this new service two weeks ago. If I understand correctly, this only applies to ex-Japan tickets. I am interested to see how many people actually will use it. I guess JAL figures they will still make more money this way than losing the premium passenger to other carriers (NH and AA in this case) that offer this service

There was a thread in the AA forums about it back in Feb here
