Better than JAL, by far. But is great service sustainable in the difficult airline industry? In 2008 ANA lost Y4.2 billion, in 2009 the loss was Y57.3 billion, and in the first quarter of 2010 fiscal year they lost Y5.2 billion.

In the US, the airlines charge extra for everything. I wonder whether the plan for ANA and JAL is to charge a higher price for Haneda based flights. How much more will people pay for convenience? Its an interesting marketing question and I agree with Mike that it is wonderful that Haneda service is now available for international travel.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.com
