Maybe so.....
But with the "specials" on offer at the moment I still prefer zipping down to Osaka with ANA rather than sitting with all the "sararimen" on the Shinkansen. Time for a decent coffee at Starbucks at either end, the free use of the automatic beer pourer in the Signet Lounge.....And best of all, no "hoorigans" to contend with...I rest my case!
