A JAPANESE MEAL IN THE SKY JL FLIGHT 9 FROM ORD TO NRT

EVEN before we began the 13 hour 25 minute journey to Tokyo, The Flagship Lounge at ORD had created a Japanese ambience. The Japanese as far as I know do not eat Sushi made yesterday, but this was an American Airlines Lounge. The Champagne was Taitlingers.

 The Flight Attendants were all young and polite to a fault. Even before you wanted something they were there. Attention to detail reflected their culture.
As you could imagine I chose the Japanese selection, which flowed one after another.

 One never thinks of Alaska as having a narrower neck but on this projection from space, it does look like that. It was a very short hop from Alaska to Siberia!
