  • I traveled on Japan Airlines JAL B787-8 from Moscow to Tokyo Narita in May 2019. This video shows JAL B787-8 Business and Economy Class details. Despite the flight was great in terms of seating, food and service. There was one terrible design that made me couldn't sleep. Find out in the vlog.
    Japan Airlines is the only airline in the world that have 2-4-2 (8 abreast) economy seating on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The standard economy seating is 3-3-3 (9 abreast)

    I was one of the 1st Mechanics at Boeing who built the 1st 787's. I built this one in the video! Yes, Japans MHI and KHI built the wings. And out of all the people/Companies around the world building the 787, Japan did the best! They do quality work!! Brings back memories....

    Just flew with JAL for the first time twice last week and their 787 was my favourite of any airline I've been on! I loved the 2-4-2 fit out, and the toilets were so clean and spacious! My one complaint for both flights was also the cabin temperature. Ended up changing from winter clothes to shorts and a T mid flight because I couldn't handle how warm it was.

    @MrEL28 4 года назад +15

    The advantage of having the entire meal on one tray is you'll know how much of each dish to eat (eat the most delicious and skip the not so good ones). If it's one at a time, the main course may be terrible but you only ate a little of the appetizer, as you thought the next dish would be better :-)

    Great video Sam! Love JAL, they provide one of the best customer experiences and inflight services. Never under why they don't have blinds for B787, make it so shade is dark enough so no lights can come through.

  • @patrickcramer
    @patrickcramer 4 года назад

    Awesome video as always. One thing that I've never noticed that clearly was the wing de-flexing immediately after touchdown once the spoilers are open. Impressive how it kills the lift immediately in order to maximize brakes efficiency. Aviation is just mind-blowing.

    I perfer the 2-4-2 economy configuration to the 3-3-3 economy configuration on long-haul flights. Hence, that’s one reason why I perfer the Airbus A330 to the Boeing 777:)
    Also, Japan Airlines seems to be very welcoming and kind to their passengers.
    Thanks for the video!

    Happy New Year Mr.Sam Chui
    I’m always enjoying to watch your Airlines video and Flight reviews.
    As a JAL‘s Cabin Loading staff, I can suggest you to ask to Cabin Crew that rubber window shade to completely shut down the sun light through windows. We are loading a few number of rubber window shades on all B787 .
    So, please do not hesitate to ask it to our cabin crew. I wish your sleep will be more comfortable on next flight ^_^
    Thank you for flying with Japan Airlines.

    Sam, We just flew JAL 787 Dreamliner from Narita to Jakarta, in coach. I must say that it was one of the best coach flight I have experienced. The 2-4-2 layout is very good. For a very long time my favorite aircraft was the B767 because of its 2-3-2 layout but the Dreamliner is almost as good with the 2-4-2. I love to travel but my budget keeps me in coach 95% of the time so I look for B767 first and now B787 the B777 is ok but only if I can get a good seat. Thanks for sharing your experience.

      @@msquaredmedia8717 That's great and I'm sure your devotion is appreciated. However, you should consider the average viewer on here who has a job and a million other things to do and can't afford to spend that amount of time on a RUclips video. That's why RUclips isn't a platform for short films. It's a platform for relatively short entertaining videos.
      It really doesn't matter how informative it is as people will weigh the time it takes to watch the video versus what they could be doing otherwise. You can see this with podcasts. They are extremely informative, but really freaking long. Thus, clips are made that are short and to the point which get much more views than the actual long form podcast.
      It's great that there are people like you that will watch anything no matter the length. However, that does not represent the overwhelming majority of viewers who simply want to watch something for 10-15 minutes max, and move on to do something else. They don't give a like on the video, comment, or give feedback. They just watch or don't watch and that's it.
