JAL is one of my top choices,...(CX via HKG is another, and Velocity SIN, + QFF Air France from Sin to CDG, the other but that choice is fraught with danger that I wouldn't get the AF flight) I'm just about to research the JAL flights, and am really grateful you prompted me to look into them again.
@elanshin - One ONLY worry I had with JAL was that the J seats look so small. My husband has wide shoulders. Did you think the seat was small? or, like someone said on Points Guy in a review, the photos make the seats look like coffins, but they're pretty good.
I'm not that fussy about the age of the product as long as it's not terrible. I'll check them, and their taxes out. Thanks!
and, had not considered CI at all, due to my previous mistake, so will do that too.
I love this forum, you're all amazing.
