The last several trips I took to Japan (Los Angeles to Narita) had been with Korean Air.  The reason: cheaper air fares.  Their service has been good as has been the food they serve.  Plus, they've shown Astro Boy cartoons on the flights.

I received the best airfare prices from them through GatewayLAX.

They've now announced a new system on ticketing and baggage.

From Japan Today:

Korean Air has launched a ticket booking option on its Facebook fan page. Savvy social media users can now conveniently book tickets on all Korean Air’s international flights and find the best deals available online. 

In addition, from May 31 (based on ticketing date), Korean Air will convert its baggage allowance system from the previous Weight System, to Piece System, which will see an increased weight allowance in all classes of travel.
