Qantas First is quite easy to get as a Platinum if you either upgrade from a paid Business class or call them to release a seat with some flexibility on dates. Actually- in most cases when I requested a Business class reward, they also had First available on the same flight (Expertflyer is super useful for finding flights with low occupancy).

And Emirates: Just the best of the best and really worth paying the outrageous carrier charges. JAL however? Only if you like fishy smells

JAL is one of the best airlines in the world, specially its menu on business and first class.. Sometimes you need to have class to enjoy food...

I’m allergic to seafood and the Japanese tend to have zero empathy in such cases. Very classy indeed.

pointless exercise (get it) as QF let plebs have 1 seat, if your lucky ( yes I know you can get 2 if you want to leave tomorrow)

I'm not sure empathy is the right word.

Japanese culture emphasises hospitality, but fish stock forms the basis for almost all Japanese cuisine. That's just the way it is, and what the bulk of their passengers want to be served, so it's what they serve.

Would it be fair for someone with a capsaicin allergy to complain that Koreans, Thai, Indians and Mexicans all have "zero empathy" for their spice allergy because chilli forms a key part of their cuisine?

JAL does have allergen free options, and a Business/First specific vegan degustation also.

I’m happy for people to write off JAL as an award option if it means less competition. Pretty much only have good things to say about my F experience in December. HND-JFK as the only passenger in F was phenomenal!
