THis may seem like a strange question, but I have heard alternating stories about the flight from home country to Japan. Are JETs flown business class or economy? Also, what airline is used? ( I would be leaving from Ottawa, Canada)

This may seem like a simple reply, but why don't you ask JET? If you are getting varied answers from other online sources, it just seems logical to go to the source.

Is there a special concern about flying economy or business? JET pays for everything, you know.

About 4 or 5 years ago, JET used to fly all of its employees business class. Now they fly economy-alas. They generally use Japan Airlines (JAL) and the tickets are usually arranged by a travel agency in New York City. They will send your itinerary with a contact number for the travel agency sometime in June, I believe. (Or at least that's how it all worked last year.)

I have a friend who's participating in the JET programme at the moment. He says he was flown out business class. He's in his third and final year of the programme though, and hasn't been back to the UK since, so I hope they haven't decided to cut spending since then! Smile

Yrs,
Mariana.

I was in Vancouver, Canada- thousands of kilometres and one international border away from New York, and yet this is where my JET airline ticket was arranged from. (I needed the itinerary information, and had to make several calls to New York City to get it.)

Sorry that you are ticked off sweetheart, but I am no more American than you are. (And don't give me any of that lame arguement about North American being the same as American, because THAT ticks me off.)

I didn't imply- I assumed. A completely different bad habit. Wink
