So surprise that i can watch you video!!! I am the CA who wrote this card 🙂🙂 Your video is very nice and reminds me of that flight !! Hope you all the best Thank you so much
OMG! What a crazy coincidence! Thank you so much for this amazing gesture! I enjoyed the flight so much, really hope to fly JAL again as soon as possible! :) JALがだいすき！
Dear Angela, Very nice to see your reply to his video. I think that your airline and some other East Asian airlines such as ANA and EVA air should be considered as the reference in terms of friendliness, politeness, taking care of their passengers etc. Your airline and the others mentioned are in my opinion a benchmark to other airlines in the world especially some of the Western airlines. Keep up the good work !
@Angela Lo are u serious ur the one who wrote the letter good job
Angela , guess u from hk, nice to c a Hk Jal staff. Stand with hk

The reasons that this channel is so successful?
1. No annoying music
2. No fast forward
3. Detailed explanation of every feature in the seat
4. Brutally honest
6. The reviews are always balanced and not exaggerating
7. If you are luck, you can see some unexpected airlines
8. No drama
9. No entitlement
10. No cringe-worthy behavior towards the flight attendants
@@vegasgirl3538 no cringe worthy content like sam chui
Jasper Siow Sam chui is so spoiled and over edits his videos
Of course it got to be JAL. God bless them for using proper 18" 2-4-2 economy config. on their B789
Anh Minh Tran on all their 787 (including 787-8) and 9 abreast on their international 777s, what a lovely airline. Edit:not necessarily 3-3-3 but definitely 9 abreast
OneStop Tripreports yes you are right, and that also applies to all 787 including 787-8(788), 787-9(789) and 787-10(78J), so it is quite good to see JAL staying on 2-4-2 on their 787-8 and 787-9
JAL actually has around 18.9" per seat in economy (which is closer to 19"), and with a 33" seat pitch, it makes it one of the roomiest economy seats in any B787 airline. Even their B777 continue to uses 3-3-3 or 2-4-3, and they even increased the seat pitch to 34" per seat! As opposed to many airlines where 3-4-3 is becoming the norm in B777 and only 31" seat pitch is the standard.
I'd be genuinely surprised if airlines get any significant profit from that extra column of economy seats they add on 787s anyway
The 2-4-2 is not food for families
I love the red and black interior of the JAL planes. It's so sleek and modern.
Yep, JAL’s come a long way since the tragedy of flight 123 that’s for sure...
This is why I love watching Simply Aviation. Their videos are mostly in Economy class. The reason why this is helpful is that there are people like me who can’t afford to fly business. These economy class videos show us what we are expecting when we are flying an airline we haven’t flown before. Thx Simply Aviation! Without your reviews, none of use would know what some economy class airlines feels like.😄😄😄
Excellent point about economy class. The true measure of a carrier is how well they treat their lowest paying customers...just like the true measure of a person is how well they treat someone who cannot do anything in return.
2-4-2 and 84-86 cm legroom, simply amazing.
Ohh got it looll 😂😂
The average is 79, this truly is amazing. 8% more legroom!
Guimi The Ace Best economy class no debate
Air India flights are better
@@garryminati7350 the only thing that remotely compares is the legroom. Otherwise, it is a mess overall.
My flight attendant friend calls NRT = Not Really Tokyo. Because the airport is so far from the city
How far is it from Downtown?
@@rezaalan3991 according to wiki: 60 km
@@maxster_8989 woah, that is too far. But fortunately Tokyo have Haneda.
I loled so hard
not really tokyo👈that's right
Watching this in 2021 and tearing up. God I miss flying and transiting through airports with lots of people around. Particularly love flying with JAL from YVR to NRT, their service is impeccable.
And flying without masks, good times…

It's slowly getting better now.
That "Japanese pancake" is a traditional FINNISH spinach pancake 🙂 So it was Japanese dinner and Finnish breakfast.
Estonian also, I knew I was recognizing those things from somewhere :P
yup noticed it was finnish spinach pancake
Pinaattilättyjä, hyviähän ne on, varmaan by Finnair catering 😊
Are you sure those are not pandan leaf pancakes?
Oh...good to know !!👍💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
People who agree that David and simply aviation is the best
Yes I feel as though I am with him or that I am him on the plane. I can't stand annoying music, it disturbs the imagination.
All
I totally agree !!!👍👍💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞
Credits to Felix as well!
On that approach to NRT you can see a house in the middle of the taxiways. When NRT was built, the guy would not give up his land so they built the airport around him. Imagine the plane spotting from his bedroom window.. I'm ex JAL staff and so happy to see them back again among the big players.
At which minute do u see it ?
Is that it @16:45?

Welcome in my country. I hope that you enjoy it!🇯🇵

You read manga?
I love how JAL has a 2-4-2 configuration on the 787, really wish all of them were like that. It was also really nice how the crew gave you that model!
Even better, they have a 2-4-3 configuration on the 777 which is the epitome of seating perfection.
@@ankursagale I’ve seen 3-3-3 on the 777
@@ILoveQazaqstan JAL has some 777s with a 2-4-3 economy config. Not sure if they are -200ERs or -300ERs.

@@sergiolaurencio7534thats basically premium economy
I love when airlines give a menu in the economy! So nice! Never flew Japan Airlines, only ANA to Narita. It’s very nice too
Wow!!! How nice of JAL to thank you for filming!! So many airlines get nasty about this. It shows their confidence in their great airline who treat the peasants like me in 4th class like humans.
Semsem Eini yeah, that's true. I even appreciate when they give gifts for filming. That's very comfortable and making people want to fly again
Semsem Eini when did they thank him for fliming
@@brandondougherty1158
Starting at 15:08, you can see David describe the airlines gifting him. How sweet! What an awesome airline! 👍😊
I’ve flown on the 787 many times with other airlines offering the 3-3-3 configuration . This is truly a massive step up in comfort . You have made me want to fly with JAL now . Thanks for sharing .
I always fly JAL from San Diego to Manila! I love the impeccable and friendly service and good food. I love this airline!
The best 787 experience on economy
Japanese people never disappoints💓
😊
This is such a nice and valuable gesture from the JAL crew. Because they recognised you as a passionate airline-enthusiast, they gave you such a nice scaled JAL B-787 airplane-model and personal signatured postcards. This is the Japanese honesty. Back in March 2017 at my home airport in DUS I had the great opportunity to visit a Singapore Airlines A350-900. And I have the great opportunity to meet the entire cabin-crew. After my visit onboard they donated me a small bag with a scaled SIN A350-900 model with a wooden-panel, a SIN A350 Safety-Card and the SIN A350 inflight magazine. It was an unforgettable experience.
How refreshing to see an airline that pays attention to detail and delivers excellent service. What a lovely touch that the FAs noticed your video work and approached you. That meal looked delicious and the service was impeccable. I’ve never flown JAL but I sure hope I will one day. Thanks for another terrific review! 👍😀
Japan Airlines is fantastic. Service always good and great amenities on board for economy passengers.
Once got to fly when I was really young on a JAL 787 from Boston to Tokyo, honestly one of my youngest and my favorite memories of aviation. Didn’t get many pics, and I don’t really remember it, but still awesome.
There's a reason why Japan Airlines won best Economy class seats in 2017-2019.
Yeah despite a tragic accident involving a JAL 747 that killed all but four passengers (JAL flight 123) it’s a pretty good airline
@@jasminejohnston6393 JAL hasn't had any hull loss since 1985.
Jasmine Johnston and? Many airlines have suffered extreme incidents. New airlines (qatar, Emirates and Etihad) were lucky enough to be in an age where aircrafts are extremely reliable.
Not only that...JAL won Best Economy Class (overall, not just the seat) in 2019. Any airline will pamper their F/C/PY passengers...it’s Economy where a carrier shows its true colors.
@@simonnuman6840 the aircraft of jal that crashed was reliable too. it just was improperly maintained after a tail strike.
The seats, the meals, the menus, EVERYthing - just WOW! I also remember those long transfer times at Helsinki airport! But just love Finland!
Is it only me or it’s really exciting to see the meals 😂
1:30 your feet sounds like your chopping down a tree in minecraft

...Hiking boots more likely
foookin hilarious comment!
Congrats JAL!! This is what all airliners should offer on longhauls! Comfy seats and great service! I'll have to fly them once! :) Great report!
I was flying with ANA 787 and I must to admit that Japanese carriers just crush european opponents :) Crews are so nice and quality and ammount of food is legendary!
Had one of the best experience of travelling with Japan Airlines, from Tokyo to Dallas,TX. Great food, Great hospitality and a perfect In-flight entertaiment. Would highly recommend using JAL.
That little plane looks so nice. And the service seems amazing. We always enjoy your videos.
This is one of the Best videos I have seen soo far!!
Yes I’ve been waiting for this review! I knew that JAL would impress you.
i am proud of my country!!
thank you, from Japan🇯🇵
I love narita’s 34r runway, when u sitting on the left u get to see a glimpse of the entire airport when your landing great seat u picked there👍
いつも日本に来てくれてありがとうございます！
Thank you for coming to Japan all the time.
Japan always welcomes you!
I already knew JAL is the way to go to Japan. However, I still watched the video to see your reaction, which hardly surprised me. Good job JAL!
ANAs old 777-300s are even better
TRUEnsal Oh yes, the legroom is amazing in the old interior, but in my opinion, Japan Airlines has more comfortable seats.
@@thespinach8215 they have those 2-4-3 configurations in ana. With shell seats. Absokute high class, even better than jal. İ have testes both
TRUEnsal Well unfortunately, ANA is replacing these seats as we speak, also, I’ve flown in the old 3-4-2 ANA 777 as well.
@@thespinach8215 yeah sadly ANA degrades their seats
I have done the same route with Japan Airlines also on the 787, best economy flight I ever had ! So friendly crew and what a nice plane!
It was my first flight to Japan on Xmas day 2012.
The best flight ever, the crew was amazing and the Xmas spirit was all over.
i love that JAL boarding music, composed by David Foster.
Great configuration for the 787. That s how the majority of airlines should distribute this nice airplane
Japan Airlines has the best inflight meal in economy class I ever had. It feels like a buffet. And also cabin crew serves tea throughout the flight.
JAL, a true 5-star airline!
One of the best aviation trip ever channel is. That's why we loved it more. No more annoying music no more unwanted stuffs.. Loved it
The landscape of Helsinki looks absolutely amazing
Woahhh that flight looked amazing!! The cabin and all its amenities looked wonderful, amazing catering, and such a lovely gesture from the crew at the end! I’d 100% fly with JAL if I had the chance 🥰
I flew JAL from Heathrow to Haneda last year.
Best long haul economy I've been on in years.
JAL are Skytrax Best Economy Class Award for 2019
I absolutely love this channel. My own channel gets a lot of inspiration from the crazy adventures you two embark upon. Thank you for inspiring smaller avgeek channels :D
I love the 787 in the JAL configuration. 2 aisle seats per room instead of 3 and it makes the cabin feel less claustrophobic.
Why is simply aviation so under rated?? This is a legendary RUclips channel!!
That's a LOT of green tea
Hey I’ll take tea over coffee any day. I drink orange pekoe tea every day for my daily caffeine intake instead of coffee
is that a joke for LOT airlines😂
this is why i love both All Nippon airways and Japan airlines
thanks
Awesome video mate!!! :D
Another outstanding no nonsense trip report ! Thank you ...I love your videos
Thank you for reporting JAL and welcome to Japan!
I love Japan Airlines very much it is my favorite and number one airline
Great report as always!
I love Japan Airlines. They are simply the best in air and on earth.
Your channel is the best ❤️ I love JAL, the video has shown their service is amazing. What I love most about Japanese cuisine besides sushi is their light and fluffy pancakes, and their green tea. I loved how the flight crew gave you an airplane model and a card.
Great video! What a generous legroom and comfort on JAL’s B787 seats, even in economy class!
JAL looks like an amazingly underated gem of an airlines! All the spotlight is towards ANA (which is totally deserved) and no one really gives JAL! All in all both are amazing airlines!
Too bad my first flight on a 787 was NRT-SJC with ANA, not JAL. I heard ANA started out with 2-4-2, but then changed to 3-3-3 with 31 inch pitch after squeezing Premium Economy in front. The service was good, but the seat was one of the most uncomfortable on a long haul flight.
Seating and all aspects of the food service were above average for economy. The IFE looked very responsive and with good variety. Overall, among the best of economy flights!
That JAL SkyWard magazine cover...Tokushima...amazing! That's where I have lived for the past 25 years!
Thanks David, I was looking forward to this trip report 😀
Hi Simply Aviation, Great video as always!
I was wondering, for long haul, do you recommend more ANA or JAL?
I wish I could agree with you on Japan Airlines but I flew a Dreamliner out of LAX heading for Tokyo ~ Takeoff and landing was great my big problem was the food ~ I was sitting in Economy Class where once the person sitting in front of me put their seat back I felt like I was in a straightjacket and I'm not a big guy I don't know maybe they upgraded and improved on their seating ~ Next too say that the food reminded me of something someone might call Jail Food is an understatement, to say the least ~ My biggest problem was the last meal severed about 2 hour out from Tokyo after not being feed anything for almost 8 hours ~ It was mushy rice for breakfast that as I was looking at other seats In the cabin no one else was eating either ~ It was horrible and I was so hungry and now in a bad mood ~ When I got off the plane there was no place to grab a bite to eat in close proximity near where I was at the airport ~ I complain to JAL about it but no one followed up ~ You would think that a big company like JAL would offer food for nonJapanese people to eat after flying out of LAX but they didn't ~ Never again will I fly JAL ~ WORSE FOOD ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS ~ Like eating in a resturant that you can't leave ~ My next flight to Japan was on ANA which was so much better ~
Wow this airlines looks so aesthetic!let it be the uniform, seat colours, headphone colors 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love Japan airlines. I fly with them everytime I'm flying from Tokyo to Saigon. I use Korean air when I fly from Seoul to Saigon. I work for an airline that flies to both Korea and Japan so I use my benefits to fly there then buy my tickets for the onward flight a few days later. So I get to see both countries for a day or 2 before going on to Saigon. The same on the way back but only a few hours in the countries instead of the whole day
We feel we are flying with you.. SIMPLY SUPERB AVIATION
JAL onboard music 🎶 is THE BEST just friggin awesome dude
Ich hatte meinen besten Economy Flug mit Japan Airlines in der 787-9 von Frankfurt nach Tokio. Nicht nur der Sitz mit der guten Beinfreiheit war gut, auch das Essen und vor allem der Service von der Crew waren super. Ich bin schon davor mit Qatar Airways geflogen da war es nicht so gut.
I just flew with JAL 787 from LAX to KIX. Best experience ever.
Welcome back to my country.
I remember you have some ANA flights experience and received a card and some items from ANA guys at last ANA flight.
I’m so glad to you like JAL flight!
I think JAL and ANA guys show and give you great hospitality for the passengers. It’s great job.
How was returning flight from Japan to Austria?
Share us your great trip report more!
Oh my, thanks for the video David!! This made me really excited and cant wait to fly them NRT-MEL on 788 this December🤪
Great video Simply Aviation for today's tripreport video and I think you need to add extra one day of the tripreports videos
that snow is so lovely ❤️
Very nice video David! I enjoyed all of them! I just flew past my house on the 7:10 mark in the video. I see this same aircraft almost everyday lading and climbing from my house.

Good to know about one seat less. Swissair used to also. Love the legroom. You should compare with ANA. JAL here I come when I go to Japan. Austrian Airlines could learn something. I don't like fruit as a desert though. Wonder if western meal had the same desert.
Semsem Eini Fruit isn’t the only dessert, both the ice cream and the fruit are desserts, also fruit is needed to prevent jet lag and it’s much healthier than a cake. FYI, the western and Japanese meals in economy have no difference, the only difference is the main course.
The cabin looks really nice for an economy class. Never seen green tea actually green in color. Really good review!!
Never get bored to watch ur uploads🙂
This is one of the best economy classes that i ever saw( belevie me or not i saw many of them cuz im also frequent flier)
Code Jaworssski I agree.
8:30 I got a hot towel too in Economy class but on the Singapore Airlines A350 900XWB from Stockholm via Moscow to Singapore.
Stellar service & flight 10/10, Best JAL
Favorite parts: Boeing 787-9, the interior/layout of JAL, the views of the sunrise, the mountains and the landing in Narita during flight, the Finnair A350 capture during taxiing on Narita, the crew's attention towards you.
And last but certainly not least, ALL THEM MEALS THAT LOOKS SO GOOD.
It looks well catered! And fresh obviously!
JAL seems to have a great inflight service and are very customer friendly. Like the interiour of the JAL dreamliner, classic JAL colours white,black, red...looks really nice and comfortable. The food looks delicious and great that U got 2 hot meals on the flight.
The present U got from the crew is really sweet :)
Thanx for this film, nice to watch
I hope you can make tripreport with JAL A350
Kiob simply avaiton can’t find that filght but some you tubers does
You just gained yourself another subscriber! Amazing video!
Another great video, nice work.
The "no one around" would have freaked me out! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the report. Love JAL seats configuration in Eco as 2-4-2! Catering and FA service seem very standard, I expect something special with a "Japanese touch".
I love your trip reports!
7:01 that scenery is so mesmerising. Winter Wonderland 😌😌😌
Soo beautiful, The Tripreport In japan airlines 787-9 Looks nice
I like your videos! I like how you show every quirk of economy class lol keep them goin
