    You might try the JAL Goku fares from the JAL Japan English website to see if that works.

    Really, I'd like to see JAL succeed. They used to be pretty nice.

    This shows why regulation of airlines by the government was a GOOD thing. With the government trying to save them, they might as well own them.

    Watch in awe as JAL continues to leech money from everyone.

    Their prices will sky-rocket despite few flying with them, thousands will be fired, services will decline further from the already abysmal level it's on, and, heaven forbid, the unpreparedness and apathy of the remaining employees let some terrorists slip by from an international flight...

    I think with more and more Japanese feeling comfortable with foreign options, fewer are feeling the need to pay the extortionate airfare just to have their in-flight sushi, over-staffed Japanese cabin crew and all Japanese-dubbed video entertainment. Seriously, United and plenty of Asian competitors are willing to get you to the same destination for less than half the price of JAL, of course on the condition that you are OK with saying English words like: "chicken, please", "orange juice", and "no thank you". Besides, with Transformers 2, do you really need the 10 lines of dialogue spoken to be in Japanese?

    Flew United 2 weeks ago and the movies are already dubbed for jpnese. Half the flight was Japanese too. Only real big difference was the "customer service" with the flight attendents. No cute ones eitheir, all obasans.

    ^^^ I meant half the people on the flight were Japanese.
