While almost anything will be an improvement over an aircraft that still has working ashtrays and ridiculous half-broken Barca Lounger style seats even in Busyness I am worried that these newfangled 787s are the ones that kept going Pop! and Kaboom!
Tell me it ain't so.................
PS The ANA cabin and departure lounge service this past trip was most copacetic, and Ms. Arakawa's bottom simply splendid. The menu was gayer than should be legal, but there was always ramen or rice & miso with tidbits for those of us that like their food uninfused and free of excessive sauces, exotic meats and silly continental vegetables. Highly recommended for those that might prefer to avoid the Land Whale Airlines whilst returning to the Lands of the Free-tards

I have no idea how they get here or where from, but Tokyo is heaving with tourists, you can barely swing a cat without hitting a fair-skinned longnose, and it's tougher shooting a fish in a barrel than bumping into Chinese/SE Asians. I was walking home down the Shotengai outside my crappy 23ku kakueki-teisha station and was somewhat bemused to see a bunch of western (looked Southern European) tourists (or at least obvious non-residents) wander in to the local pachinko place (well, one of the three pachinko places).

LOL, was it an actual ANA lounge or just the generic Star Alliance lounge? (which are pretty good)
As much as I love Singapore, my recent return flight was the the stuff of nightmares. Elbow to the face by some baba who ended up collapsing in front of me. (looked serious and they had the O2 and all the shit out but turned out they had just given her a few too many and she couldn't hold her shit...literally...yuck) I had water dumped on me during that ruckus...which they shoganai'd and left me sitting in dampness the rest of the flight. Was stepped on again and again, and the final straw was getting knocked in the head by an apple. The bitch didn't even realize when she entered the aisle, her spin had sent apples flying and nailed me in a couple places. She ran to the back where she started serving them and the smug smile on her face went straight to confusion when she approached and saw me holding 2 apples and looking pissed off. Fucking clueless....

Service was average at best, had to ask thrice for landing cards and she looked confused as to why I needed them.
