ANA targets first 787 commercial flight in January 2011

[QSG]

Nope....and QSG has explained why. Am doubtful of making it.... may do the 1st scheduled rather than the charter

Don't know if I would join in on the Business class auction, but if it doesn't cost anything to try for the Y seats ...then whY not ? Somehow I think it might be easier to take one of the scheduled domestic flights.....I might have to get to Yamaguchi-UBE area anyway so.....

I know Carfield is on the inaugural HND-HIJ flight. I'm 100% sure we'll get a TR.

It upsets me that the excursion flights and the inaugural HND-OKJ flight is open to Japanese residents only...

Someone's paid ~US$19K for the HKG flight in C:

That's quite high! But at least it is for two round trip tickets and one night stay in HKG.

I would be flying HIJ-HND on Nov 7. Keeping my fingers crossed that there would not be a last minute aircraft switch.
