Very nice! DD19 and I are currently sitting in a very crowded JAL lounge awaiting our first class flight to Tokyo. DH and DS22 left about an hour ago on ANA business class (they will fly first class ANA back). We were all originally on the same JAL flights (2 in first and 2 in business), but decided to change the boys to ANA when I was able to score the VS deal. It was too good to pass up, and it will be fun for us to compare first class experiences
I think
@calypso has done both, and I can't remember which one she perferred. I'm looking forward to my first glass of Krystal in about an hour
Cross your fingers that DH can get himself and DS to the hotel from the airport without yours truly in charge. DD and I are taking odds and it doesn't look good, ROFL!!!
Quick PSA for anyone flying JAL from SFO in business/first. We were able to access the Cathay Pacific lounge with our tickets, and it was *much* better. Pretty much empty for about an hour and we just hit the noodle bar about 5 minutes before they closed it. We moved over to check out the JAL lounge but should have stayed put
These flights are one of my best redemptions ever. Cash price for all the flights would have been about $55k. I don't have my numbers in front of me, but I want to say we are in for about 560,000 miles (we were able to advantage of a transfer bonus to VS), and about $1500 (might be off on that ) for all four of us.
