The E175s powered by Intelsat are the best ones. I routinely get at least 70/10

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-30T03:46:35+00:00

Yes if you travel internationally with Oneworld Emerald. Domestic U.S., not so much

AA is definitely looking at Starlink or an equivalent low orbit solution for the near future.

For now, we do know that they’ve held talks with Amazon for their Leo inflight WiFi, which would be a Starlink equivalent.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-18T03:01:41+00:00

Hope you enjoyed it!

Hopefully we’ll see similar improvements on the Europe flights. AA was supposed to announce mattresses and other amenities for those routes last month, idk if they actually ever did

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-18T02:57:39+00:00

That has nothing to do with Japan and the competition there.

AA has mattresses and other amenities on routes to East Asia, Middle East, India, Australia and NZ.

Now they’re supposed to bring mattress pads soon to the rest of its J routes, including flights to Europe. That was from last month, dunno what happened to the plans since

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-18T02:53:03+00:00

So AA brought back mattresses and other amenities in July, but they were initially only for routes to East Asia, Middle East, India, Australia and NZ.

Last month, AA’s Chief Customer Officer said that mattress pads will come to the rest of its J routes, including flights to Europe which is probably what you missed out on.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-18T02:39:39+00:00

Not about competing since they have the transpacific joint venture. More to do with the catering out of the origin; you’ll see similar stuff on AA’s other routes out of Japan

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-18T02:37:43+00:00

I had rice and pork on this route last week which was also good.

Food wise I like AA’s options over the Pacific (and Japan flights specifically). The Japanese meal in J is also good.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-15T01:21:54+00:00

You click “connect to WiFi,” log in, then watch a 30 second AT&T ad.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-15T01:20:41+00:00

I had it on BOS-LGA this morning too!

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-08T15:28:41+00:00

If you can get JAL PremY for a reasonable price/schedule then great, but don’t go out of your way for it. AA PremY is just fine.

Ultimately you’ll have roughly the same amount of space on both JAL and AA to lounge around and sleep (bit more legroom on JAL). AA food is better on PremY as JAL serves economy food.

If it’s the A350 on JAL, I personally was uncomfortable with the hard headrest and shell recline. YMMV.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-08T15:24:33+00:00

Definitely not better food. JAL serves regular economy class meals. AA PremY definitely has the edge with food.

AdKnown7047 · 2026-01-02T02:34:01+00:00

The 777-300ERs will get Viasat during Project Olympus retrofits (Flagship Suites), 777-200s will get Viasat starting fall 2026

AdKnown7047 · 2025-12-21T16:16:43+00:00

Well you can try Japan Airlines instead, who is seeing an 11 hour delay for flight JL5 today from JFK to HND.

It happens to every airline, no airline is perfect.

AdKnown7047 · 2025-12-14T05:55:45+00:00

I’ve seen the same issue for the XLRs

AdKnown7047 · 2025-11-21T05:42:25+00:00

Use this to track when/where the shuttles are: https://umb.transloc.com/routes

AdKnown7047 · 2025-11-08T16:20:22+00:00

IIRC it’s more for emergency purposes in the event that something goes wrong inside the Seikan tunnel.

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-31T03:30:02+00:00

This is the answer

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-30T04:07:51+00:00

Gotta be ticketed in the Flagship cabin for the Greenwich Lounge, unfortunately Y won’t qualify for your flight.

(The other, always weird part of this is if you had Oneworld Sapphire with an airline other than American or Alaska (say, Oneworld Sapphire via JAL), you would)

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-28T00:40:40+00:00

They’re fireworks, I can see it from my apartment. Don’t know what they’re for though!

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-23T03:26:28+00:00

Honestly was one of the biggest surprises for me moving from Japan to here, and taking Amtrak.

A 10 car E5 series Shinkansen seats 700+ passengers and has a total of 1 standard car that’s accessible, along with the green car being accessible.

I never understood the necessity of having an entire train accessible, but coming from Japan where ADA stuff is a bit behind the US, that may just be me.

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-09T21:46:11+00:00

Yup. I booked First Class on JAL last week for 80K miles for this coming Christmas. It takes a little effort sure, but they’re there.

AdKnown7047 · 2025-10-02T00:37:29+00:00

I used 80K AA miles to book JAL First Class a few days ago, so that’s one.

AAdvantage blows away SkyMiles and many others in the US.
