Didn't she mentioned about THE RING before? She told you what kind of ring she wants. You just don't get the hints

fumitani, aren't you excited by this announcement? You can finally fly on a direct flight to US east coast. That is if you dare to fly on it

You know what? I'm not excited at all.

UA, NW, JL, BR, TG - All tried KIX-LAX and pulled
UA, JL - ORD-KIX and failed
NW had DTW-KIX-MNL
AA had KIX-DFW

NW stopped KIX-SEA, but brought it back with DL...

I don't think it will last very long

But this time is to east coast But I won't fly on CI if I have a choice

And I miss LAX-KIX. I used to see that flight (JL69) part next to mine (JL61/65/25) and was envy that they have the new Arc of Sun 744. I always wanted to try to fly on that one instead (but would need to do an overnight stay to catch JL701). I never had a chance to do it and now both JL69 and JL701 are gone

Maybe you should sign up for their program and do a MR on them instead

By the way will this be the only KIX longhaul flight after JL suspended KIX-LHR.

You know budget could change at any time. They could sign off for your trip now but tell you we don't have enough budget for that any more a a month later because you guys were sued for no snow . And with the ridiculously high price on JAL, will they late you fly there on it if it costs 30% more than say NH?

Budget will be finalised soon. I do know one thing. If I make the company a lot of money it will help lol.

But you also bring them lots of lawsuits

If you make them a lot of money, you probably don't need to use business travels to lower your JGC run cost
