You'd have to add up the additional checked bag/seat reservation fee which can be about $80 each way--but this still may be significantly cheaper than a flight on other airlines. As for meals--just bring your own. We brought much nicer bento boxes ($8-$10) on board from Tokyo, and they were so much better than the economy meal on United we got. If you get the Zipair luggage upgrade, you do get a simple mea, which select beforehand.

But check the major airlines to see if their price is comparable. Zipair was a nice flight--if you know what to expect and prepare your meal. Get the lounge access for about $10 so you can relax and fill up with drink (non-alcoholic) and light snacks before your flight. The entertainment is sparse, so download your preferred entertainment to your digital device (which you'll need for using on-board entertainment).

The Zipair Lie-flat seats are more than just a small increase, and are closer to about 3x-4x the reguar seats. But that's MUCH less than the 6x-7x premium of Business class seats over economy on other airlines. You're looking at around $1000 each way (plus the $70-$100 extra for baggage, etc.) for lie flat seats. You'll also have to pay for every item you consume. You'll still save THOUSANDS of dollars over every other Business Class seat on other airlines.

It's not really a Business Class luxury experience--just expect to pay-as-you-go for everything-- but the lie-flat seats provide the comfort for those needing it to survive the flight over the Pacific, which is probably 80%-90% of the important aspect of flying Biz class. If you really want nicer meals served on nice dinnerware and as much booze as you want to drink, pay the $3000+ more for that privilege on Biz class on another airline.

Just go Zipair. Get the lie flat seats for small premium. Much more value for lot less money
