When choosing your seat, you’ll note that the airline charges an extra fee for all services, including seat selection, meals, and checked baggage — even in business class. You can choose from many packages that include such things. The price of each plan varies by route, but they start at $58 and go up to $115 on the LAX to NRT route. You’ll pay extra for what’s usually free in a typical business class experience, including all luggage and amenities. Note: You will have to choose one package per flight.
