Japan Week launched today in New York City with exhibition halls in Grand Central Station featuring a Delta 747-400 Business Elite seat with pilot tuck-in service, swag, and a contest for a trip for two, in economy, to Japan.

I saw the press release and decided to pop up during my lunch hour, coinciding with the kick-off event. There are numerous booths from featuring Japanese companies, food (no free samples) and tourism.
Delta had quite a crew out there, including 6’5″ Tyler, familiar to regular passengers on the JFK-NRT route for his superlative Japanese language skills.

@Joey – the swag giveaway seemed a bit haphazard, I don’t think they would give out amenity kits to everyone, most booths had nothing for free, like the food ones all require cash. I did ask for an USB hub and will do a blog giveaway on it.
I recall you telling us you have status with Delta. Did they give you any of the swag in from the drawers?
Pretty neat! I’ll stop by today after work.
Looks cool! Are they suppose to be in grand central tomorrow as well?
@Points, Miles & Martinis – they will be there through Saturday, I am not sure how big a crew they will have, I happened to show up for the kick-off with the press buzzing around so they have a lot of Delta people around.
Looks like they couldn’t find the 2015 Award Chart either!
