What? You still fly US airlines? The 17-hour from New York to Tokyo then to Beijing is supremely pleasant. Air China, on the other hand, is fast and cheap. 13 hours arctic flight; the seating is uncomfortable, but if you start dosing sleeping pills you won't notice it. I think the food is a bit better on Air China, also.

I agree with the above post....why fly US Airlines when you may choose an Asian Airlines carrier?
