Great video, Jayden. I was also really surprised at how basic the JAL domestic lounges are compared to their international lounges. I"m surprised there were no English announcements in the airport though. That would make it fairly difficult for non-Japanese speakers. That meal looked amazing, especially for a 1 hour flight! I hope you had a great time Tokyo. I can't wait to get back there in October!
Great video. Surprised by the delicious meals on the short flight and the champagne. Nice A350 and missing logo A350 on the rear fuselage lol. Glad had the tail camera on JAL A350. These were excellent seats, and JAL A350 wish could fly anywhere in Asia. Did you explore in Osaka area? I wish I could explore areas in Japan than stay in the airport.
yep I too wish they have a International configured A350. They will have A350-1000 but probably for Long haul only. I was only in Osaka for 24 hours, had to cut my trip short because I caught covid earlier and had to cut my trip short ;(
Great vlog mate. Im booking a couple of flights to Japan tomorrow at 11am when Qantas releases their massive rewards seats allocation. Your vlog just added to the excitement so thanks and happy travelling 😊 🇦🇺👍🍻
Hi Jayden! What a nice flight on JAL! Many bubbles and flavourful meal according to your facial expression! Yum! We didn't see the bathroom though, no coat hook? How do you like the A350 compared to a 777, if it's a valid comparison? Okay, maybe it depends on which class you are travelling and the distance. I'm so excited to fly the A350-1000 next week, it will be a first for me (I've flown the A350-900)! Great to see your Tokyo vlog too. I need to visit Japan one day, really! Your hotel room was cosy and had everything you need. I love the "curtain" that you open to get the view outside. Well, I am waiting for your 6th trip now and I will be in Bangkok when your video is published next Thursday! Safe travels, Jayden :)
Should add Tokyo/Japan for the stopover to Asia next time! :) This trip was a stopover for me before continuing to America haha. A350 is a lot nicer, quieter and more humid. If speaking of 3-3-3 seats on both A350 and B777. B777 is comfier because the cabin is wider. Enjoy your trip to BKK on CX😍
Indeed the train might have been faster. But I suspect many pax are making onward connex. Same here in Europe where KL continues to fly the 104 mile sector between BRU and AMS.
Shinkansen takes about 2.5 hours. Flight takes less than 1.5 hours. Though if you account for time spent in airport check-in, security, boarding, etc., Shinkansen is probably slightly faster.
Shinkansen would've been faster especially if you are staying near Tokyo Station. I was staying in Shinjuku and travelling with luggage so it was actually easier for me to fly into Haneda and then catch the Airport Limousine (big orange bus) straight to my hotel. Also, economy on JAL starts from 7000yen, train is around double of that so easy choice for me, price wise and for my needs :)
@@JaydenWong good luck doing that 7 hours with overpriced half-eaten looking food and seats so thin you think you'd be sitting on a wooden bench xD have a good flight!
The flight of ITAMI-HANEDA is too short to enjoy meals and veberages😭 As you mentioned, domestic lounges have little service(no shower except in HANEDA, no hot meal etc)🙁🙁but the steak and soba noodles served during the flight are really delicious🥰 Shochu which JAL First Class serves called MORI IZOU(森伊蔵) is extremely rare so please enjoy MORI IZOU when you are on board JAL First again👍️
Amazing video mate. The experience of the lounge was truly underwhelming, but not actually needed, you got the view and food on board. Wonder how the other lounge is tho. The announcements are in Japanese, but FIDs are in English too?
As always, another great and informative trip report Jayden. Question, did the ground crew wave goodbye to the plane as it left the gate in Osaka? I've been to Japan many times for work, and it was so cool when the ground crew waved the plane goodbye
Always surprises me how “scruffy” Haneda looks in terms of the weeds around the taxiways and the grass that isn’t well kept or cut, considering how immaculate everything else is in Japan it’s a bit of a strange sight. Hopefully I’ll be back soon and they might have cut the grass by then 😂
submerge, i guess the word you were looking for. Anyway, for me, the JAL first class felt a bit underwhelming tho nothing much you can provide in just 1 hour flight.
One of the problems for this flight was that the seat belt sign was illuminated earlier than usual so had to rush through the food and no time to use the bathroom and recline the seat. Still better than US carriers though, one hour = almost no service. Thanks for watching! :)
Hong Konger-Canadian living in Sapporo here. Took JAL's A350 multiple times (in class J) now from CTS-HND, all should have under belly and tail camera bor. I even have pictures and videos from my multiple trips on them haha I think it was at the bottom of the home screen or a little icon at the bottom iirc, it was not easy to find, but can confirm they all have! CTS-HND route is now primarily served by A350, used to be B777, still have the odd B737 for the wee hours. Also an odd theory, but many times I flew domestic when there was no "visible foreigner" (white person) they did the announcements in Japanese only, but if there was a visible foreigner on board, they did Japanese and English.
Hello there! Thanks for leaving a comment. Ah thanks for exposing me for not knowing for the camera is 😆🤣 Can’t believe I missed it. Interesting about the PA. I remember flying Jetstar Japan HKG-NRT once and they did only Japanese safety PA lol. I was like ‘is this even allowed’😂😂
Less than ¥50,000 - or A$500 - for a return trip between Osaka and Tokyo on JAL. That's remarkably cheap between two Japanese cities and partly because they were competing against the popular, but environmentally friendly Shinkansen services on the same route. Here, you can fly between Sydney and Melbourne on Business for roughly A$200 more than what you get for the trip shown on this report. I guess it is affordable to fly with luxury within Japan, unlike mostly anywhere else. With Qantas revealing new First and Business class products for their Airbus A350 Project Sunrise routes, it won't be too far away before Australians like me travel on one of these new big metal birds. (Technically, this is out of reach for your channel's needs, but hey at least we can all dream!) 🙂
Such a shame Australia and the USA don't have high-speed yet. I drove Adelaide to Melbourne last week because it was so much cheaper to drive down to Melbourne and then fly out from there to overseas. Conveniently, my housemate from Thailand is returning to Australia next week. Flying BKK-MEL, and can pick up my car and drive it back to ADL 🤣
Did you encounter any issues communicating with the crews and ground staffs in this particular domestic flight, especially in English? This is always my concern, although I can speak N5 (beginner level) and some N4 (amateur level) Japanese.
Lol.... definitely first🤣 The word you're looking for is " soak" in the tub. Jetlag will do that to you 😴 I dunno if I would ever call a men's bathroom " cute", but anything is possible 😅
Great video, Jayden. I was also really surprised at how basic the JAL domestic lounges are compared to their international lounges.

yep, it makes the AA Admirals Clubs shine! Fortunately the inflight service made it up :)
My goodness, the level of service was great! What a nice experience.
thanks for watching Patricia, you can always expect a lot from the Japanese!
It looks like great value for 1st class domestic.
totally! And lots of points/status credits accrual 😍
@@JaydenWong Thanks! I’ll go for the splurge next time, and I’m in Osaka.
I missed first class on JAL☺️thanks for vlog! And it’s a good price, better that Australia or USA loved the vlog of Tokyo too. Few memories for me ❤️
thanks Ian! Cheaper than Qantas Sydney to Adelaide in economy most of the time!

The food served was mouthwatering 😋 nice video jayden. Keep spoiling me with your flight videos.
thanks Antonio, more to come! :)
Another great review mate, nice work.

Great video! Hoping to fly on Japan Airlines A350 one day! :D
thanks for watching!!
Surprised to see an A350 on that route. And I guess that the train would have been faster. Catering looked great.

@@JaydenWong Good points. I remember that bus taking me straight to my hotel: such a good service.
Hi Jayden thank you for the video yes meal did look good. One thing I liked was the divider between the seats.
thanks Maureen, yep the divider wasn't big but added a lot of privacy to my seat :)
16:05 Jayden that’s the biggest pedestrian crossing I’ve ever seeeeeennn
there are bigger and busier ones in other parts of Tokyo!
as usual well done Jayden thankyou
thank you! :)
And 'First Class' don't even get this level of service on US Airlines for 1 hour.
totally!
Great.. Super clean video... Japan Airlines Lovely.. Japanese cuisine..
thanks for watching Pradeep!
Very nice one flight in First Class, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy❤
thanks for watching John!
Thank You Jayden Wong For Japan Airlines A350 First Class
First class huh. Way to go Jayden 👍🏻
back to economy this week, scoot 🤣
@@JaydenWong 😂 Where have you been? Did you take a Space X flight Jayden? 🤣. Scoot ohhh 😃 Cheers
ah scoot. you've gotta face it one day hahaha the budget end
@@kalebasphalt haha legit one minute away from getting dropped off at Melbourne airport. today is the day
@@JaydenWong good luck doing that 7 hours with overpriced half-eaten looking food and seats so thin you think you'd be sitting on a wooden bench xD have a good flight!
JAL one of my Favorite Airlines...tonight working Turn-Around to Madrid !!!
Hope it was a good short trip to Madrid and back!
The JL A350 first class looks really comfy :)
I wonder how foreigners would understand the airport announcements if it's made in Japanese only 🤔
totally haha, it was weird
Wow. A350-900 for a one hour flight.
yep!! B777, 787 and 767 very common on this route too
Very nice 1 hour flight.
Not too luxurious but a very nice meal. (I am not complaining), just saying. 😀
Thanks Jayden, coat huke Wong. 😂
thanks Stevo, really wished the flight was longer LOL!
The flight of ITAMI-HANEDA is too short to enjoy meals and veberages😭
As you mentioned, domestic lounges have little service(no shower except in HANEDA, no hot meal etc)🙁🙁but the steak and soba noodles served during the flight are really delicious🥰
Shochu which JAL First Class serves called MORI IZOU(森伊蔵) is extremely rare so please enjoy MORI IZOU when you are on board JAL First again👍️
I gotta try the Shochu next time, felt a bit stupid ordering champagne LOL!
Amazing video mate. The experience of the lounge was truly underwhelming, but not actually needed, you got the view and food on board. Wonder how the other lounge is tho. The announcements are in Japanese, but FIDs are in English too?
Thanks for watching! Don't remember the FIDs because I can read Japanese haha, but the TV screens at the boarding gate had both English and Japanese.
@@JaydenWong matee, did u see that single banana on business class ? 🤣
As always, another great and informative trip report Jayden. Question, did the ground crew wave goodbye to the plane as it left the gate in Osaka? I've been to Japan many times for work, and it was so cool when the ground crew waved the plane goodbye
good question, unfortunately the ground crew were on the other side of the tarmac so I couldn't see them. Thanks for watching! :)
Always surprises me how “scruffy” Haneda looks in terms of the weeds around the taxiways and the grass that isn’t well kept or cut, considering how immaculate everything else is in Japan it’s a bit of a strange sight. Hopefully I’ll be back soon and they might have cut the grass by then 😂
haha never noticed the grass at HND, but Nadi in Fiji was another level, almost like it could get sucked into the engines!
A true civilized airline !
Did Jayden load up on souvenirs ?
When is ANA flight for comparison ?
Enjoy your trip jaydan
thanks Kristy!
I would like to welcome you to Japan. I hope you enjoy your visit✈️🇯🇵💓
thank you so much!! I enjoyed it very much! :)
Doing a good job mate.

I sure did, thank you! :)
Thought the JAL is mainly deal with Boeing , didn’t expect them to order the wide body long haul airbus
True, for ANA too, but they also have A320s haha

@@JaydenWong Is that even legal for a HK flight to not have one of the official languages haha
@@mlps93 I thought so too, not sure haha
Nice video Jayden as always.. Looks like you enjoyed yummy food.. I’m flying from Bne-Dxb-Beg on Emirates/Flydubai flights in May. can’t wait..
Thanks! Great video.
That pork dish looked so good! The Japanese lounges are so basic for domestic.
thanks Sam, yep totally. Their international lounges though are amazing
That ramen looked tasty: not a bad second choice
It's our go-to now 🤣
cool trip

do u travel solo and is it mainly for leisure?
I was with mum for this trip :)
but 50% of the time solo, and always for leisure :)
Good price! Surprised that the seat wasn't lie flat, or this A350 doesn't leave Japanese airspace?
it's a domestic only aircraft for JAL. Their A350-1000 coming soon will go overseas.
@15:00 ....2 milks.....TWO !!!!
Wow ~ nice
Is this one that crashed recently
same aircraft type but not the exact same plane
Did you encounter any issues communicating with the crews and ground staffs in this particular domestic flight, especially in English? This is always my concern, although I can speak N5 (beginner level) and some N4 (amateur level) Japanese.
not at all, had to speak slower with the airport staff, but cabin crew were all fluent English speakers :)

Lol.... definitely first🤣
The word you're looking for is " soak" in the tub.
Jetlag will do that to you 😴
I dunno if I would ever call a men's bathroom " cute", but anything is possible 😅
second again LOL!!!
HAHAAH I was running out of words Heather!!
I swear I’ve seen other reviews of the JAL a350 with external cameras
maybe I missed it 😳
It should be more appropriately to be call as fast class instead 🚀🚀
haha yep!
Nice blog
By the away , I have a question
For Ana airline vs japan airline
How do you feel about the service and friendliness ?
Thanks
both are excellent. I do find JAL crew to be less robotic
@@JaydenWong haha i see. cause i think both also japan company
The aircraft was fully destroyed after colliding a DHC-5 in Haneda Airport, Japan during an earthquake in January 2, 2024
That was JA13XJ
this round no film in toilet anymore?
no time haha
Very competitive compared to sitting on 新幹線
totally, I prefer flying though so easy choice ahaha
sorry about this but i have to spill the beans.. I feel offnded that you said soju is japanese............ otherwise great tripreport
sorry😭I meant shochu
It’s ok.. I ❤️your videos
Hi
hi!
2-2-2 in first in 2023? What are poeples opinions on this? Most business classes are 1-2-1 nowadays
this is a domestic only aircraft. Their longest flight is barely over 2 hours. Their A350-1000 will have 1-2-1 and go overseas.
It looks like a business class 😂 If you make the changes choice of Singapore airlines
their business class/class J is very similar but without the partition between you and neighbour and no free meals.
Plastic cups for the fake champagne 😂😂😂. First Class, I don’t think. More like SQ Economy.
you don't get sparkling on SQ economy do you?
