Japan Airlines rocks! And let me tell you why:
1. The seats are notedly clean and super comfortable.
2. The aircraft is well ventilated, there's no stuffy smell of grossness like United has. I can't even smell the two businessmen sandwiching me.
3. You get super awesome individual TV screens and remote controls with a dozen movies, online shopping, and all types of video games from Mah Jongg to Tetris.
4. The food! I almost jumped out of Seat 23D when I read the menu, and yes, there's a beautiful folded menu with an illo of a flower on the cover, not some cranky flight attendant yelling "Beef or chicken!" in your face while you sleep. This is what I'm having for lunch:
Nikujyaga (Simmered beef and potato in sweet soy sauce)
Steamed rice
Sesame marinated seafood
Chicken pastrami
Potato salad
Chinese jellyfish
Fresh salad with French dressing
Banana panna cotta
Bread and butter
Green tea...I can't wait!
5. They have foot rests in economy class.
6. The flight attendants are polite, non-invasive and pretty.
7. Tickets are relatively cheap.
The only downside for me is that they just banned dogs in-flight. Since I usually go back to Japan with my puppy, I only get to take JAL when I'm going somewhere random, like New Delhi or Tel Aviv, via Tokyo. But those of you who don't have a port-a-doggy...you gotta try this. This is what living the high life is supposed to be like.
Ok, I gotta go. I have 2 hours left before I reach my destination, and I think it's time for my foot massage.
how much is the flight and is ther a stop-over?

This sounds like heaven. Although, since I'm a bit bigger, I think any flight will always be uncomfortable for me.
