Hometown Dreamin, Tokyo to Boston nonstop is a reality on Japan Airlines!

Good news to all my fellow New Englanders who might want to fly to Tokyo (or vice-versa), Japan airlines is now offering non-stop flights on the new 787 jets. I’m psyched, although there are no plans to visit in the immediate future as we just spent a couple of weeks back home this past summer.

Guess I’ll be flying Japan Airlines next time I hit the East Coast. Bon Voyage! :D
