| | | Flight Experience | First Class: | For one of the best first class experiences in the sky, try to book JAL’s A350-1000. It features massive suites in a 1-1-1 configuration, large 4K TVs, a plenty of gadgets. Not to mention, JAL first class is known for their amazing crews, great catering, and top-of-the-line champagne. | On the Boeing 777, you’ll get JAL’s older product, but it’s still a massive seat and the 1-2-1 configuration provides plenty of privacy - there are only eight seats. is an amazing experience despite an older seat. As with first class on the A350, you can expect amazing service and great catering. | Business Class: | Japan Airlines has a reputation for great service so a business class flight should be more than enjoyable. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that JAL operates different aircraft to/from North America. | The business class cabin on the 787-8 is arranged in a 2-2-2 layout with lie-flat seats. While most 2-2-2 layouts are subpar, this layout provides direct aisle access for all seats. While these seats don’t have a ton of storage, window seats provide a ton of privacy. | | How To Search | Search with Japan Airlines: | On the main page, select the international tab, then Award tickets Select JMB Partner Airlines Award Tickets Register or Login Toggle One-way Select the partner airline from the drop down menu Choose your departure date from and Destination Select number of passengers from the passenger drop down menu Select class of service Toggle The member of this JMB account will travel on this flight, if applicable Remember: Only the primary member and immediate family members can book JAL.
