Usually suites, but not always. By 'suites' I mean the 1-2-1 configuration, with chairs that swivel a little to the side to make a bed. AA never has pajamas or duvets, and the blankets are the same as in business class.

Should OW try to add another US carrier - one that has a strong presence on the West Coast - eg Alaska Airlines?

Stay with JAL or change to other OW program?
Am trying to convince a colleague of mine about the value of ff programs. She already has a JAL non-elite MB account and read that they will be joining OW alliance. Would she be best off staying with JAL or are there better programs in OW (EQM earning/promotions/benefits?) She is based in Japan and flies mostly intra-Asia, with some trips to Australia and the US thrown in. I fly mostly ST alliance myself, so have no experience with OW programs. Have personally switched from AF/KLM FB to NW WP because of EQM earning rules and lower intra-Asia award redemptions.

I know it takes about 12 to 24 mos.

It would seem therefore that we may have to wait until late 2007 for JAL to join oneworld.I certainly hope it is sooner but I dont have high hopes.
