I'm generally anti-AA and those old bitty hags, particularly domestically. However, I flew AA to Bangkok a while back. It was JAL and I didn't read the fine print. Operated by AA. I'll be dang if the new business class product was as good as any I fly,....Emerites, Qatar, Turkish, JAL. AA was just as good and about $600 cheaper out of DFW. Flew Turkish over here due to problems with airlines taking Persian or any other flat nose breeds of cats and dogs. Oddly, Food on Turkish was better than all including Emirates. PSA
