Not big on words.
Here are a few happy snaps from a recent SYD > NRT flight in J on a B777.
This was my first JAL flight to NRT. Need to use them as their schedule lined up with my requirements.
Check-in ... flawless. Was welcomed at SYD airport at check-in. So much so I was a little dazed. But it may have also been the (big) night before and an early flight our of SYD.
Onboard service was excellent.
Positives: Service, food, shell seat (when reclined), bathrooms (kept clean), amenities (nice chocolate brown colour), held Y pax back until J pax had exited, B777 seemed 'fresh', (wrapped) toothbrushes placed in bathrooms half way through flight, price (was much cheaper than QF for what I feel is a better hard product)
Negatives: Shell seat (when in seat position) - insufficient under thigh support (length), the amenities were offered in a big wooden basket where you select from items except they all look the same and at first glance it appears they are offering you some dark brow plastic bags with no information (so I grabbed a few and decided I'd work out later what they are), headsets (where QF Dom Y type) cough and hard to hear the movie during the dialogue, QF SCs still yet to post even after a week later (yet QFF# appears on JAL BP)
Overall I would fly them again in a heart beat.
Note to QF, get some of your people flying (incognito) on a JAL flight.
And here come the snaps.
