Do you need a seat in the back?
Many US air carriers fly Japan-US, including UAL and NWA from KIX with 744s and 777s and A330s. They allow int'l jumpseaters if there is an open seat. Show up early, have a back-up, it can be done. But it is a LONG commute! I've jumpseated on both UAL and NWA into/out of KIX, both are GREAT!
