Never heard of them. But I'm thrilled they are buying from Boeing ! :  |

Great info Steve... now you have 3 ANA (All Nippon Airways) and JAL (Japan Airlines) are the 2 primary airlines in Japan with International flights pretty much all around the world. ANA is a code share with United, which is good for me since I travel ANA often in Asia so the miles go towards my United Miles... a big plus for my upgrades when I travel across the pond back to San Fran. |
