Well, the inflight front line on the bus hasn't gotten that memo in Incheon. Just sayin'

When I did Japan tipping was considered an insult. It was seen as the upper class assigning someone to a lower status in need of assistance and therefore an assault on honor.

Good service is the expectation. My first (and last) time tipping in a Japanese restaurant, the waitress flagged me down and humbly returned my cash tip as though I had mistakenly left it on the table.

I agree with Trip, the comment was about DTW 350A. As a junior A holding DTW, you’re spending 80% of your layovers in Inchon or Haneda. Yeah all those cities you mentioned would be nice but they’re flown out of LAX, SEA, or ATL. PVG does go out of DTW but a 29 hour 3 day? Good luck even holding that on weekends.
