Leaving, on a jet plane

I finally got tickets home (via Yatra Travel). They cost $1200+ including taxes, but that's not too bad considering I'll be flying in the middle of the summer and winter travel seasons. I'm taking Japan Airlines, so if anyone has experience with their economy class service, do leave a comment to let me know how it was.

Malaysia-bound:
-leave Chicago O'Hare 31 July
-arrive KLIA 2 August
US-bound:
-leave KLIA 20 December
-arrive Chicago O'Hare 21 December

To my initial dismay, I have a twenty-three-hour stopover in Narita. Nearly an entire day in an airport, bloody hell, I thought. Then AT pointed out that the time could be used to go out into the city. The Japanese Foreign Ministry says that "If the passengers of an airplane or ship that lands at an airport or seaport in Japan wish to enter Japan temporarily for shopping or rest, they can receive special landing permission from the immigration authority at the port of arrival even if they do not possess a visa." (See under C: Special Cases of Landing.) So yeah baby I'm going to see Tokyo!
