Just curious what your experiences have been trying to catch a JS on the PAX carriers to the States from Asia?

I guess FedEx types don't do this too often since they've got 100% commercial tickets, but I've got a four-leg-three-day scheduled DH (on a Brown a/c) at the end of my next pairing. Thought I might try to bee-line it home (from Hong Kong) on Continental.

Any special concerns or procedures? Uniform? Check-in at the ticket counter or gate? Taxes? Anyone we can't ride on? Likelihood of sitting in a middle coach seat for 15 hours (I think I'd actually prefer the floor of the 767)

Anything else you can think of that's worth knowing?

Thanks a lot!
