A flight suffered a malfunction, resulting in a sudden descent of 8,000 meters. In response, Japan Airlines (JAL) arranged accommodation for the affected passengers and offered a mere 15,000 yen (approximately 751 yuan) in compensation for transportation expenses. However, this compensation came with a catch – passengers were required to advance the payment before being reimbursed. This arrangement has sparked doubts among the passengers, who noted that the ticket price for the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo alone is nearly equivalent to this compensation amount, leaving many passengers unable to cover additional travel expenses.
