@nonstopDan thanks for the recommendation for Magic Travel. I just used it to help make plans with my wife when we visit Paris in the spring and it helped save me a ton of time and research on what to do and places to eat! I'll have to start using this for other trips! I didn't think AI would be a thing for travel but I'm here for it!
Not really. There is something called competition meaning that from a customer perspective, it's about having the satisfaction of money well spent on the best option possible, value for money. To be able to compete and survive in the airline industry, you need a level of consistency and deliver the expectations. If you watch other reviewers or if you fly business/first class on a regular basis, you can distinguish the difference. Go watch how many reviewers were disappointed that the beef was not tender but hard instead, their fish and chicken were dry and lack flavour, the seat and bedding is average. Are you not gonna qualify them as boring ?
@@theshieldhero7062 salmon and caviar are different. Wagyu, especially A5 is just a bunch of tasty fat. It couldnt possible be dry and i'd assume overcooking it just means that it ends up being a quarter of the size lmao
Don't know when you last visited Japan but I've spent three weeks there this year and have had no problems finding all types of foods that special to a variety of diets.
@@GG-hi5ifActually, that’s a perfect way to judge an airline because the least they could do is cater to everyone. Same when you go to a “fine” restaurant, the really good ones will accommodate to YOUR dietary needs because you’re the customer.
Agree that ANA is a step ahead of Japan Airlines, but saying that it compares to airlines like Air China or China Eastern is wayyyyy too exaggerated. Though the cabin may be old-fashioned, its soft products and service culture (in my opinion) is on another level. Almost always a pleasure flying JAL.
Totally agree that ANA is way in front of JAL. But to say that JAL is on the same level as mainland Chinese carriers is taking the criticism a bit too far! I've never flown JL F, but all the many flights I've had with them in J have been solid. Marginally better than KE and OZ, similar to BR or CI...all of which are far far superior to anything from the PRC
I would agree ANA has a more premium service, but it also has a more premium price. One great thing about JAL is the access to the lounge if one is traveling premium economy class. It represents great value!
watching this while wearing JAL pyjamas ;) Sorry to see that the catering was so bad! Especially for a flight to Thailand, where there are a lot of vegetarians too, I’d have expected them to do a lot better. Japan has amazing tofu / bean curd cuisine: they should’ve done that! As a Japanese speaker, I can confirm that the service in Japanese is really different compared to their service in English 😢
I can see why many hype JAL or ANA if you indeed wants an authentic Japanese dinning experience while flying but Singapore or Emirates you will get a more international experience that serves most passengers needs. First class service is tailored to perfection but JAL didn’t do so. They could have taken his dietary restrictions from booking and perfected a meal for him. The little details which put them a step below the other airlines I mention above.
@@JeanClaudeCOCOAnd this is why I as someone who loves Japan prefer them to these soulless multi culti airlines without any identity. On JAL it’s Japanese culture if that doesn’t fit you then don’t fly with them it’s as simple as this really.
especially if you're migrating or anything similar. JAL has the best baggage policy. You get 3 baggages checked in in Business or First. Majority of other airlines only have 2 included in ticket price.
JAL Economy is the best in the world it’s an airline for the people unlike these Middle Eastern airlines who only give good service if you pay up. At JAL the focus is to give the Japanese people great service when travelling!
I personally would say not being comfortable speaking English isn't too big a thing, seeing as the flight is Japanese and not flying to an English speaking country. Although I'm not blind to the fact that a lot of people speak English as a second language all over the world, I feel like we as English speakers kind of expect the world to cater to us a bit
JAL is an international carrier with an extensive network flying the globe and supplied with passengers from their global One World Alliance partners. The flight could have been filled with connecting passenger’s from the US or any other country and the crew would have to work that flight. No excuse to not be able to fully assist a passenger who can’t speak Japanese whether it’s in Economy or First Class. It was not a deal breaker for Dan and most passengers don’t care but the whole experience was hampered when something’s could have been handled if they understood each other better.
@@JeanClaudeCOCO Only an anglo could be that entiteled. Would you have the same expectations about french or spanish since they are so widely spoken? Or mandarin?
I used to be a customer service trainer. You can teach language but you will struggle to "teach" natural warmth and/or a genuine desire to help and be kind. People who have that quality will always find a way to communicate.
What are the examples of most services in the lounge still not available due to the pandemic? It is true that the shoe shine service never came back, but that is literally the only casualty. The order flow was changed, now you order from the app rather than go to the counter, but I think that will stick just because it works better. It is true that the space that was designated for the sushi counter is not in use, but honestly the passenger numbers don't require additional space. That would just be added seating, everything on offer service wise is already on offer..... If you are thinking about the 15 minute massage, that was cut years before the pandemic.
I totally understand how airline catering can be. It's not easy. Altitude also affects taste, and there's also the conditions of the galley cooking. But if other airlines can provide good quality offerings, then the expectation is there. And why not accept any offerings. For many, travelling is a once in a long time thing. So why not offer what is available. It's a memorable event for many. Most passengers aren't frequent flyers. Happy travels. I love the flamboyant culture of airlines. Enjoy it. You worked for it. You earned it. It's my dream job to be a flight attendant. I went for the interview, but they found someone else at that time. I got a ground job and love making the holiday port a happy place. Never give up on your dreams. People are working to make it possible for travellers. Long comment, but airlines and holidays are significant. Bon voyage.
Hi Dan, I think you've been a bit harsh on Japan Airlines. They're a wonderful airline, dedicated crews, highly efficient and caring. They're not about showing off like Emirates and the like.
I just flew this first class seat today from ORD back to Haneda. It is super comfy with these leather recliners, I like them better than the new seats that don't seem thick with padding. As I live in Japan, I usually fly ANA but was so surprised with the better service with JAL.
I almost flew JAL from Beijing to NYC through Tokyo in August but was switched by my employer to Emirates going through Dubai. I would have been in economy so it's good to know that their economy is good. Thanks for these comprehensive videos.
I highly prefer JAL to ANA. I have been on Chinese carriers and both Japanese carriers are 100x better. I will take the excellent wifi over IFE anyday. I just put the map on the screen. I can also assure you the "Great mistake" oredering off the western menu was a one off. The best western airplane food I have had is on JAL. HND-BKK is a regional flight, not the real F Class you get over the Pacific. Try ANA intra asia...BIG difference less food. You are not comparing Apples to apples ... not at all
Fly both JAL and ANA a lot, though only business (long haul) or economy (short haul): here are my observations: 1) ANA the room is the best business class option due to the space 2) ANA’s in flight entertainment options are SO much better than the JAL options. I have no idea why JAL’s inflight entertainment is so bad. 3) JAL attendants are generally a lot nicer than ANA. In Japan we say it’s because JAL went bankrupt once so they have to have a humble attitude. 4) I have noticed that cold food gets served REALLY cold in both airlines, like uncomfortably cold. 5) Both JAL and ANA beds are rather hard, but JAL does provide the mattress padding, which helps. 6) both airlines have HOT temp settings. 7) ANA serves its anytime you want ramen in proper porcelain bowls but JAL serves it in instant ramen cups. That was a shocker. In conclusion, I prefer ANA despite the sometime cold service and harder beds because the entertainment is so much better and the instant noodle cups just ain’t it lol.
Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this video! The last time I flew JAL was 2010 when they were still flying the 747s, and economy was not the highlight. 😹 Although they were amazing flying Osaka to Singapore! Good to know that their economy is probably their best product, since we might end up flying them again soon out of Vancouver!
Cant judge first class but my experiences in steerage have seen JAL the clear winner in almost every way, especially important being the seat is far more comfortable on JAL.
9:12 By definition of international, there would be more than just English speakers, at least they're trying... So how should they be able to cater for every language?
JAL economy (cattle as my friends call it) was surprisingly quite good. I hadn't been on an overseas flight in 12 years but flown around Australia on Jetstar, Qantas, Virgin, Rex and Tigerair. Comparing my JAL flight to these, I was happily surprised and very comfortable at the very back of the flight. My only criticism was the food. I was lactose intolerant before going to Japan for 10 years and I received my food before everyone else but also I got my tray removed long after everyone else. I wish they could've removed it as 30-45 mins with a tray is a nightmare and my legs cramped up heaps. Everything else was good enough or exceeded my low expectations.
mannn, JAL Airlines menus looks way better on it than in reality... I always thought JAL was better than ANA due to pricing but ig thats only the economy thats better Also Japan having hard beds is completely normal, that isnt really on the airline itself but a cultural thing
Thanks once again, for a well-balanced review Dan 👌 Incidentally, have you ever considered doing Vlogs of your experiences in the many cities around the world you travel too? That’s something I think quite a few of us might enjoy watching.
You could also just had walked it . According to Google maps it would only take a little over 142 days ( best thing about walking it is all the things you get to see )
I've flown F to and from TYO on ANA, JAL, BA and Emirates in F, I'd out ANA and JAL slightly above Emirates, and BA down at the bottom. JAL and BA are my most frequent option, probably because of my BA status. There's really not much between JAL and ANA to be honest. ANA has some very special guest Champagnes as well as their usual Krug if you're into that. The older ANA seat is a weird coffin like thing, it's comfy but a bit claustrophobic, whereas the JAL seat is quite open. But it's the food where the two Japanese airlines stand out as long as you don't demand special requirements. I think the crews on JAL just edge it over ANA on the bow count.
I wonder if it’s a JAL thing for the cabin to be so hot. On one flight it got so hot , I kept drinking iced water and fanning myself. Felt like I was having a hot flush at one point.
ANA's regular basic business class (on most 777s and all of the 787s) is really quite subpar. No storage, not much privacy. It' s good enough but I think I'd prefer JL's business class if I can get a window seat
Hi Dan. Been watching your videos for a while. May I ask, seeing u fly so much from place to place. What do u do there? Is the travelling for work as well or is it just purely travelling? Btw I’m a cabin crew from SQ as well 😍
Thinking of treating myself to a first class journey from Melbourne Australia to Prague in the second half of next year. Anyone have any recommendations?
@@j134679 true, even Emirates only have business class and I think have their subsidiary Fly Dubai operate it, and SQ, you would have to change somewhere like Frankfurt or London to get first . It would be standard European business class to a major hub then first from there.
I very much appreciated this comprehensive video, as always actually. What I’d be thrilled for, would be a new review of Cathay’s First, it would really go well with your recent F videos. May there be something in the pipeline?😇
Been an avid watcher of all your reviews and travels for so long now. It's truly amazing the depth you go to with your reviews and the joy you bring not just to me but so many others when travelling. Amazing job and keep it up!
What is wrong with Swiss First? I absolutely love them, great amenities, superb seat and outstanding food. Last time I rode them to Hong Kong we were only two pax in First and I did some caviar testing. The remaining food was of Michelin star quality.
Recently I was flying in Japan airlines from Los Angeles to Tokyo business class and it was a very old outdated plane, horrible food. Everything was super dirty.

Finally someone is talking about the pillows on jal! The ones in business class are terrible, tiny and lumpy inside.
I hate u Ana service horrible the food stinks lounge bad the seat looks bad and I flew Ana lots of time about 50 times but every time it delays
‘Depression’ while flying on a first class flight on JAL.
Ok pal

He just flew and enjoyed ANA greatly in a recent video.
Bodied that whiner
Tbh I feel like a lot of your reviews of airlines are always so negative…
Love Japan Airlines! They are one of the best airlines to cross the pacific with :)
Thank God I have always crossed the Atlantic. Although it is good, I moved to the EU, and it is no longer an issue.

JAL is not for vegans & vegetarians.... else they are impressive
Never forget the pilots of JAL123, may everyone onboard rest in piece, RIP JAL123.
At least you didn't get a single banana as a complete meal 😂
The pillow is criminal. They need to learn from ANA, their pillow is superior
Cant judge first class but my experiences in steerage have seen JAL the clear winner in almost every way, especially important being the seat is far more comfortable on JAL.

Bring back odd memories, as I am old enough to remember when we used to get ammenity kits in economy from JAL when flying with them 30 years ago.
Great to ser that you use Poland to show Magic tool. All The best from Poland :)
A few months ago, I was at the same airport and ALSO had my flight (American Airlines) leaving from Gate #149. What a coincidence!
You could also just had walked it . According to Google maps it would only take a little over 142 days ( best thing about walking it is all the things you get to see )
After I saw the menu, which looked delicious, I knew you'd suffer from veganism.
I've flown F to and from TYO on ANA, JAL, BA and Emirates in F, I'd out ANA and JAL slightly above Emirates, and BA down at the bottom. JAL and BA are my most frequent option, probably because of my BA status.
There's really not much between JAL and ANA to be honest. ANA has some very special guest Champagnes as well as their usual Krug if you're into that. The older ANA seat is a weird coffin like thing, it's comfy but a bit claustrophobic, whereas the JAL seat is quite open. But it's the food where the two Japanese airlines stand out as long as you don't demand special requirements. I think the crews on JAL just edge it over ANA on the bow count.
I wonder if it’s a JAL thing for the cabin to be so hot. On one flight it got so hot , I kept drinking iced water and fanning myself. Felt like I was having a hot flush at one point.
Its an East Asia thing. Warm is preferred by the locals
*gasp in Japanese* moment - brilliant 🤣🤣🤣 so Dan like
Title change counter here - 3
ANA's regular basic business class (on most 777s and all of the 787s) is really quite subpar. No storage, not much privacy. It' s good enough but I think I'd prefer JL's business class if I can get a window seat
Dan, great background music selection for your videos.
Hey Dan! I was excited for you to upload your next video but when I got the notification I clicked like my life depended on it 😂
Hahahah thank you!!
Japanese food usually is lighter in flavor.
I honestly don’t think anything can beat the Finnair A350 business class
I have to disagree to the highest level.. no bueno
Fantastic content as always.
Good review. Bonus points for giving 'discombobulated' a run-out.
Magic? I'll give it a try.
Haneda is not as convenient if you are right by the NEX to Narita. LOVE the NEX train.
Curious now to see your Japan Airlines economy review but I can't seem to find it
Japan Airlines is one of the best in the world.
Hi Dan. Been watching your videos for a while.
May I ask, seeing u fly so much from place to place. What do u do there? Is the travelling for work as well or is it just purely travelling?
Btw I’m a cabin crew from SQ as well 😍
just saying.. that tea is amazing and really expensive to buy. 😂 a bunch of us made the mistake of allowing it to free flow
I love JAL and i have a short video for first class as well
U can't expect high level of service from JAL while USA and Sweden is in eternal decline.
5K is way too steep for a flight of this quality
oh dear we have flights booked, but in BC
Good to know. Thank you
Thinking of treating myself to a first class journey from Melbourne Australia to Prague in the second half of next year. Anyone have any recommendations?
Emirates, or Singapore airlines.
Not many airlines fly First to Prague. You'll have to check something like Google flights first.
@@j134679 true, even Emirates only have business class and I think have their subsidiary Fly Dubai operate it, and SQ, you would have to change somewhere like Frankfurt or London to get first . It would be standard European business class to a major hub then first from there.

Yes
I've always wondered do you keep the pjs?

Nice to see ya Dan
ya hard disagree. JL F soft product is better than ANA F. And that Salon is to die for (had the whole bottle on my last flight!)
Somewhat disappointing. The food did not look inviting. That's too bad for Japan Airlines.
I really admire how JAL has kept the 787 planes in a more comfortable layout.
Great video!!!
Maybe u can try First Class Garuda Indonesia 😊
Hello!
It seems that much like SWISS' first class, the lounge is the best part of the experience.
What is wrong with Swiss First? I absolutely love them, great amenities, superb seat and outstanding food. Last time I rode them to Hong Kong we were only two pax in First and I did some caviar testing. The remaining food was of Michelin star quality.
So disappointing! I’ll avoid them in the future
Hey Dan please do the new Air India (the new a350)
What about Philippine Airlines?
Recently I was flying in Japan airlines from Los Angeles to Tokyo business class and it was a very old outdated plane, horrible food. Everything was super dirty.
the 777 has really dry air. Why no one mentioned this is a mystery to me. JAL first was ok for me. Not wonderful.
Can u please review Bangkok airport sat 1 terminal
I was just watching another one of your video's dan, and I saw this one!
Thanks for watching!
there's great plant based sushi at japan house in são paulo
Your drink menu is from the business class. The champagne should have been Cristal or salon
Es interessiert keinen, wenn der Bewerter die meisten Lebensmittel aufgrund eigenen Verschuldens nicht isst.
Please review Kuwait Airways, There have improved a lot in years!
Your toilet ratio doesn’t take into account crew use
Cabin crew don't use the F lavs on JAL as far as I'm aware.
But you apply the same logic to every airline
I would say it's bit short fligth to enjoy JAL!
Is it now a 777-300 ER or without ER!? Safety Card says non ER…
So luxurious !
