Overall impression: travelingfoody...
When it comes to air travel, our experiences with Japan Airlines (JAL) have consistently exceeded expectations, especially when flying business class. Having enjoyed their original Sky Suite product (Apex Suite seat) on previous journeys, we eagerly anticipated trying out the Sky Suite III (reverse herringbone) aboard the JAL 787-9 Dreamliner for our return flight to San Francisco.
What I liked:
The JAL First Class Lounge in Haneda - Thanks to our Oneworld Emerald status, we had the privilege of visiting the JAL First Class Lounge at Haneda Airport. It remains one of my personal favorites, and a must-stop whenever we transit through Haneda. The lounge's ample and comfortable seating, including luxurious massage chairs, paired with delectable Japanese cuisine prepared fresh to order, make it a standout experience.
The in-flight Catering - Our dining experience on the Tokyo flight was nothing short of exceptional. From restaurant-quality meals to the flexibility of the dine-on-demand service, JAL sets a high standard. The Japanese meal was a delightful blend of freshness and elegance, while the wagyu sirloin was a testament to culinary expertise. As a perfect conclusion, the Miyazaki Wagyu Beef Curry and char siu rice bowl for our pre-landing meal were hearty and flavorful.
The Exceptional Service - The flight attendants on our JAL flight provided service beyond compare. Their warmth and eagerness to meet our needs were evident from boarding to disembarking. Their consistent attentiveness ensured our comfort throughout the journey.
What I didn’t like:
The Business Class Seats - Despite my initial excitement for the Sky Suite III, the reality fell short. While the reverse herringbone configuration offered privacy, the seat area felt cramped, especially in terms of shoulder room. The lack of padding made the seat uncomfortably hard, though the airweave mattress pad offered some respite.
The In-flight Entertainment - While the content selection was adequate, navigating the in-flight entertainment system was less than ideal due to the small remote control interface. Improving the usability of the system would enhance the overall passenger experience.
Lack of Individual Air Nozzles -The absence of individual air nozzles was a minor inconvenience for me, despite the crew's efforts to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature. Addressing this preference could contribute to a more personalized comfort experience for passengers.
It’s fine, I guess...
The Amenities - While JAL's business class amenities weren't extravagant, they were functional. While the absence of pajamas was notable, the provision of slippers, cardigans, and Maison Kitsune amenity kits, along with clean lavatories equipped with Toto washlets, added to the overall comfort of the flight.
Bottom Line:
Flying business class with Japan Airlines offers a blend of exceptional service, delectable dining, and comfortable amenities. While there were some areas for improvement, particularly with seat comfort and in-flight entertainment, the overall experience remains commendable. JAL continues to be a preferred choice for travelers seeking comfort and quality service in the skies.

Great review as always mate, your vids are always very calm and you show all the relevant stuff! Thanks for sharing
And as always, I appreciate your feedback and for watching my videos. Safe travels! ✈️
I LOOOOOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU VERY MAUCH GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Nice. I cant wait. My very first time flying business. Enough with being packed like sardines
How did you like those seats? They look perfectly fine but so many people complained about them, and I'll be flying on those seats this May, so I'm curious as why they're uncomfortable?
nevermind, I just saw your descriptions!
No worries. Thanks for watching!
This is 1-2-1 seat configuration. Much better than 2-3-2 seat.
closest JAL dreamliner for me is Dallas/FT.W. Only 777 in Chicago.
I HATE these seats. It’s like a coffin. Would rather be in an APEX seat, or even on their 767
Yeah I’m also not a fan of these seats. Thanks for watching!
@@travelingfoody Yes the apex suite, called sky suite on JAL is much better although older. I'm flying 787-8 JAL sky suite all the way from SYD to LHR return next month, really looking forward to experiencing that. I'm not sure if it's the Sky Suite on the way home yet but I hope it is as the sky suite 3 is reverse herring bone and isn't as private.
@@travelingfoody good to know, since I'll be flying this from LAX to KIX next year. Thanks for sharing. The seating configuration reminds me of United Polaris on 787-10 Dreamliner which I was not a fan of.
