Join me flying on Japan Airlines’ new A350-1000 and find out what makes JAL First Class special?
Starting my journey at LAX, Tom Bradley International Terminal. The traffic around LAX is horrible, and the terminal facility is aged. Japan Airlines uses the OneWorld partner Qantas First Class Lounge. I enjoyed a full meal before boarding the new JAL A350-1000.
JAL First Class features just six private suites, arranged in a 1-1-1 layout. No overhead bins make the cabin feel more open. First-class suites are very spacious and offer complete privacy. It can sit up to 3 people. The cabin crew gave a full orientation of the suite.
After takeoff, the in-flight service started promptly. There are numerous luxury touches, including salon champagne, caviar, Built-in headrest speakers for immersive audio, and, of course, a double bed. What makes JAL First Class special is the option to choose between a single bed and a chair, or a full double bed.
During the approach into Tokyo, we flew together with an ANA B787 on a parallel approach, making it quite a sight. On the same trip, I also experienced a Japan Airlines domestic flight from Tokyo Haneda to Osaka Itami.
