I guess here in BNE it will still be the regional product and no directs from QF.

Errr....would really like to see how they have done this. Would it mean a more cramped space or has cattle loss some room?

Do JAL offer paid on-departure ugrades?

We are taking advantage of the JMB reduced points offer and flying SYD - NRT in Jan 2009 (returning end of Feb) and it would make a very enjoyable flight each way!

Not something i've ever heard of happening in my time in the industry, so wouldn't count on it.
