AA or JL for ORD-NRT in Y
All.
I know flying in Y in not preferred in Flyertalk. But this is what I have to do this way since J is kind of expensive.
I am flying ORD-NRT-TPE in Sep 2011 in Y.
I am AA PLT. I noticed that AA is 1 inch better in pitch. And I know JL's service and food is better. What is everyone's thought?

Thanks

Flying Y is not preferred. But for many of us paying for J is even worse!


If you have't yet earned enough miles for an upgrade, I would vote for the seat with extra pitch. That is in principle mind you, never been on JL, but I would fly Y on AA anyday over LH or BA steerage.

As AA Plat you can pre-select seats in row 31 on the AA 777, most of which have excellent legroom.

But that extra pitch and width on AA will quickly disappear once your neighbors settled down in their seats
