Three weeks ago I did a SYD/NRT/SYD over a four day period, and was very impressed with the “new” JAL, having not flown with them for some time. Flew P.E. out of SYD, separate book-in, invitation to the QF Lounge, and priority boarding. Seat was very comfortable, service was great, food was nice with two main choices, and IFE was quite suitable for the nine and a half hour day-lite sector.
Return was a surprise, an up-grade to business, and I’m not a member of their Loyalty Club, so book-in, to the Sakura Lounge, then night flight in J back to SYD. Their Business offering is as good as most “Asian” based carriers, even though I was in an older model 777-200. Would definitely fly with them again. Price for P.E. product was $2000 return.
