Not sure about worst (although there was a time on Thai Airlines where we seemed to drop about 3,000 metres in a matter of seconds which really put the cat amongst the pigeons) but best flight was definitely a red eye from Oman to London.

I don’t see a connection…yet. It’s just that some places are just sick and tired of idiot tourists causing problems. And, it’s not just Japan.
