12A on e145 is an excellent seat if you can get it. Almost as good as fc single seats on cr7/9.

Exactly. This happens quite frequently in searches and can be confusing if not paying close enough attention

Help with Last minutish Asia via Europe
I am trying to get back from Tokyo July 4-8th to NYC - ideally via LAX for 23 hours in Business class or First.
This would be the second half of the ticket.
I have the first part EWR-AMS-stopover
AMS-MUC-NRT (dest)
any suggestions? I am trying to avoid the LH angle-flat seats and Egyptair. I found some crazy stuff through Seoul and Istanbul but nothing via west coast.
Is it legal to go via Sydney to LAX?

As in... NRT-BKK/ICN/PEK/SIN-SYD-LAX? I'd have to say most likely not...

IST is a little crazy.. ICN? Not so much

That said, flying TK through IST is a great option anyway - excellent airline.

Could I ask you something?
Based on US Airways Award Chart, 'South Pacific' refer to where?
Such as Australia, New Zealand, and then?
Especially , I want to know whether Guam and Saipan is belong to where
