Best airline for San Francisco-Tokyo award ticket in business?
The title says it all really!
I plan to go to Tokyo in October on a Star Alliance reward ticket in business (or possibly Premium Economy). Direct flight preferred of course.

Good Luck, you will not regret it. I have flown in J with ANA albeit in their older planes, I love the dedication and service of the crew. Well I also like the Japanese meals as they don't bloat you.

NH is the only airline I would consider for SFO-NRT. Of course, sometimes you have to be a little open-minded due to availability. SQ via LAX would be #2, AC via YVR #3 and UA would be last for me.

Like most have said NH with the new cabin is great if you want a direct (I am on NRT-LAX tomorrow actually!).
Or as this IS flyertalk, don't do a direct and enjoy some other options?
LAX-NRT on SQ if you can get it would be great on the 380.
Or SFO-ICN-NRT on OZ in the new cabin. ICN is one of my fav airports for a quick stop, and Seoul if you have never been, is fantastic.

This is FlyerTalk. Nobody here wants a direct flight. Maybe people might want non-stop flights for convenience or connecting flights to earn more miles, but certainly not direct (which is meaningful only in the negative on some airlines: fewer miles , harder to get upgrades, etc.)
