    JAL is a 5-star airline for a reason. Looked very impressive for economy.

    Its great that JAL still has 3-3-3 in the 777 and 2-4-2 in the 787. No other airline does that.

      ANA used to fly their 777’s with 2-4-2 and 34”. Sadly, the SFO-HND flight now uses a 777 that’s configured 3-3-3 with only 31” seats.

      Jal seems to be one of the few with 2-4-2 in their dreamliner though

    I’ve taken this flight in economy, premium and business, just missing out on first. All three classes offer amazingly good hard products. Economy has the 34” seats and while the 3” difference from ANA sounds like a small change, at 6’3” tall, I could feel it. Only complaint is I’d prefer the 2-4-2 configuration so my wife and I can sit without a third party.
    PE, at 42” seats that are in a hard shell are really comfortable. The 2-4-2 cabin is great too.
    And it sounds crazy, but the 2-3-2 configuration on the 777 in Business is one of the most comfortable day’s sleep I’ve had on a plane. I prefer that seat to the 1-2-1 on the 787 where the footwell is at an odd angle and kind of small for people of my height and foot size.
    Great airline.

  • @yasunari65

    I know of no airlines these days that offer any choice for the pre-arrival meal/snack. In fact, most airlines only serve a small snack, not a hot meal on a tray. The fact that Japan Airlines still serves a pre-arrival hot meal is commendable. BTW, it should also be mentioned that JAL serves their own original beverages such as "Sky Time" and also wines that are created specially for JAL. Should also be noted that their entertainment screen has a special coating so that if you look at it from an angle, i.e. from the seat next to you, the screen looks just dark so your entertainment will not bother the person next to you trying to sleep. I know of no other airlines that is so thoughtful.

    • @GlobalAviationTravel
      @GlobalAviationTravel  Год назад +2

      Every Transpacific Economy flight I’ve had served a 2nd meal option for the pre-arrival meal; Asiana, All Nippon Airways, and even United Airlines had a choice. Japan Airlines is great but I don’t think they are best best out there to be honest.

      3-4-3 isn’t that bad. It’s js a thinner aisle and 0.5 inch less width. I think people make a big deal about it when the flight attendants who primarily use the aisle are the ones who suffer.

    I prefer JAL over AnA anyday the seat width is way better and the food. The only thing that let's it down is the lack of movies and they tend to make the cabin uncomfortably warm

  • @hbruins85

    I think B is a fair and impartial score for this particular JAL flight. I agree with your observation regarding the relative lack of entertainment and second meal options.
    That being said…as a fairly frequent Japan-based flyer who always, always flies in the back of the plane, I will choose JAL over ANA in a heartbeat. ANA crams more passengers in Y class, and seems to sell a cool image more than a solid, dependable product and service.
    More than anything, JAL has a no-nonsense attitude towards safety, as evidenced by their safety video which bucks the trend toward entertainment. They take pains to visualize WHY you must evacuate the aircraft empty-handed with no heels on.
    Need proof? Look no farther than flight 516 on 02JAN24.

    Despite the weak IFE and probably higher cost than US legacy carriers give the choice I’d take JAL. Ten abreast seating with 31” pitch and 17” wide seats on AA and UAL are a stark reminder that these carriers don’t give a damn about economy class passengers . I avoid them unless it’s a free award ticket .
