So, Japan Airlines (JAL) filed for bankrupcy today.
This saddens me greatly, since I rather like JAL's services and don't wish to fly with another airline, save for ANA. Heard great stories about Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines, but they aren't exactly cheap.
Luckily, JAL will
continue its services and rise from the ashes, but the price is high; 15000 people will lose their job and JAL will have to get rid of some of their routes.
We'll have to see what this means for our April trip, which will also be the last trip for me on my current passport, which is valid until May 9.
After that, I will have to apply for a new one, which means the biochipped and fingerprinted version.
Cheers, K.
