      Next: Are Japan Airlines any good? Got to choose between them and Qantas for my trip to Japan. Prices similar.

        Brilliant - don't even consider Qantas…..

          I'd like to have some national pride, but it seems to be that Qantas' standards are slipping further and further.

          Ok - JA it is, if i can get a flight time that suits.

            JAL is MUCH better ranked against Qantas. As a fellow Aussie, it kinda sucks. Even more seat Room in JAL practically.

              Another vote for JAL. I only went from HK to Tokyo but enjoyed a whistle stop tour of Japanese beer while the flight lasted!!

                Leg room is a big selling point for me, being a lanky bastard.

                I'm going at xmas/NY time, so the prices are through the roof (to be expected). JAL/Qantas are both about $1200 EACH WAY (Syd-Tokyo). Fark me!  Jetstar is half that price, but I don't trust them for shit. My day job involves a lot of dealingwith the aviation industry and I know how many corners are cut by the budget airlines.

                  If you can wait till Saturday I'll give you 1st hand on what it's like from SYD>JP (then onto SF). Qantas has never been bad long-haul, but it's never been amazing either. The extra leg room from JAL push it over the top. Recent reviews also show wifi on most flights (from today, funnily enough), and other 'modern' innovations that Qantas is yet to start on….

                    What happened to the IHA-005 thread and product page? I finally might be able to get the IH x aero leather jacket and now I can't find it anywhere. I searched for it over and over in different ways and nothing. Did something happen I haven't heard about?

                        You can't get it because the relationship with Aero foundered.  Will left Aero and the new management don't like Iron Heart.  I did discuss what happened somewhere on the Forum, but as Aero got more and more petty with me, i saw no point in continuing to give them support by having threads dedicated to them. I am still trying t get the Ventile I paid for and had up at Aero sent back to me.  I am also waiting for a customers jacket that I have paid for.  I do have a plan, but can't talk about it until I more things a little further forward.

                            Strangely, I had a feeling it might have been something along those lines. It's unfortunate, but I look forward to future leather endeavors with a different company.

                            Thanks G.

                              I feel for Will - a knowledgeable, skilled craftsman and a gentleman. I hope he lands on his feet.

                              My Aero jacket now has a bitter-sweet feeling attached to it.

                                Truly a shame. I was saving for one of those freaking jackets, I can't wait to hear your next move

                                  So im guessing that cancels out asking you to get a jacket made by them for me, um what about ih leather zips i was quite wanting to get one in my next jacket, what can you suggest there and how much if anything?

                                    One of the reasons the relationship failed is that the new guys, disliked the IH collab.  They did not like the tweaks we had done to the original design and they hated the IH zipper with a vengeance.  So unless, I start making those zippers again, you're stuffed…
