A couple of years ago, we were planning a group tour to Japan and Jalpak was one of the bidders. Their bid was one of the best, if not the best. However, they could not guarantee the number of plane seats we needed. We thought this was odd since they are part of Japan Air Lines. Needless to say, we went through another company for our tour. They were very helpful and wanted the contract, but the seating problem was their undoing.
