Departed for Japan. A difficult day indeed but we shall see how it goes.
The flight was nice. Business Class really isn't what its thought to be in my opinion. The service was good, but i don't care about service on a jet. If I want something I can get up and get it myself, the jet isn't that big.
The seats and the video game option was a nice benefit though. :)
Met quite a many people on board. Hopefully I'll see them again, it would be nice to see how the journey turns out for them.
