Yay!

Yeah airlines with few exceptions have always been scared to lose links to China

Remember Air France Asie
British Asia Airways
JapAn Asia Airlines

But most airlines didn’t bother setting up a subsidiary airline.

sQ, CX,PAL , etc

Go Nippon!

JAL (post-bankruptcy) is awesome. Flying with them is a real treat.

When you check out JAL’s meal options online, they interestingly do not lump destinations together by “country”; it’s more along the lines of “region”:

If you scroll down the options, you get Honolulu, Kona, and Guam in the first category; then LA, San Diego, Chicago, NY, Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Vancouver in the next category; then Frankfurt, Moscow, and Helsinki in the next; then Sydney and Melbourne; then KL, Jakarta, Singapore, Hanoi, Bangkok, HCM City, Manila, and Delhi in the next (yes they broke up the two destinations in Vietnam); then Busan (no Narita-Seoul service currently offered); then finally Shanghai(Pudong), Beijing, HKG, Dalian, Taipei, and Kaohsiung.

Presto, problem solved.

You guys should write those companies.

Final deadline July 25.

This article points out how the new so-called China social credit system is used to intimidate and punish businesses and give the airline issue as a specific example.

I am torn between my fondness for poutine and the hope for beaver tail… and my duty to Taiwan. Maybe I can eat and protest at Canada Day? Protest by eating and not buying a raffle ticket?

Just ask for Chinese Jambalaya instead of poutine.
