Hello everyone. It's Kaz.
I am at Tokyo Narita airport right now. I will be flying JAL business class to Melbourne.
It's gonna be 787-8.
There are 3 types of JAL business class seats. Sky Suite I, II, and III. Today's 787-8 is equipped with Sky Suite I.
Sky Suite I is supposed to be the best of all three so I am so excited to try.
I've never been to Australia. Let's go now!
There are two JAL Business class lounges at NRT and the one closest to the security gate was jam packed
o I came to the JAL lounge on satellite.
The seats are arranged by the windows and you will get a nice apron view from the lounge.
内装は本館に似ています。ただ、やはり本館の方が広いです。 提供されている食べ物は本館と同じだと思います。
The food you must try when you are in JAL lounge is JAL curry! Trust me on this!
I just can't start a travel without JAL curry.
JL773 from NRT to MEL used the gate 88.
It was raining
but.. I am flying JAL biz so no complain at all.

Are you ready for JAL 787-8 business class? I am!
The seats are arranged in 2-2-2 configuration and every seat has direct aisle access.
My seat is 7A which is a window seat. I highly recommend this seat. You will see why later.
This seat is called "Alex" and was manufactured by BE Aerospace (now Collins Aerospace)
23 inch monitor is a large side in business class.
I thought the seat control was easy to use and intuitive. A tray table is stored on the side.
The tray table can be rotated by 90 degree so that it creates a space for you to get out of the seat while dining.
Such a nice design. Don't you think?
While the seat is wonderful, IFE remote control was not responsive. . Probably it's time to upgrade JAL?
You don't get the huge selection of movies like Emirates but it has the newest popular movies.
The reading light becomes a headset hook.
I appreciate the thoughtful design like this especially in the aircraft cabin.
A pillow and blanket. Nothing special.
These days airlines care a lot about the weight of aircraft so no AC vents above the seat.
I know a lot of AvGeek like to have them like Paul Stewart!
I told one of the crew that I liked aircraft so much when boarding.
Then, all the crew in business class cabin were informed about that.
I talked many aspects of JAL and really enjoyed talking with them.
Well, the seat belt sign is off so let's make my own private room!
This is just fantastic... So private.
The headset was made by SONY.
JALbusiness class amenity kit container is made by Etro famous Italian brand.
There are not many airlines that offer a pocket tissue (Kleenex) as a amenity.
I appreciate when I see a pair of socks in the amenity kit. What you do guys think? Please let me know in the comment below.
Unfortunately, JAL business class does not offer a pair of socks.
Almost always I chose Japanese menu when departing from Japan.
According to the crew manager
You don't get a pre-departure drink on every JAL business class. It depends on the routes.
For example, they don't offer pre-departure drinks on NRT-MEL.
But about the same flight time NRT-SYD they do offer pre-departure drinks.
So...it's not consistent.
As always, Japanese menu was phenomenal.
I did Sake tasking before the desert.
One same was from Yamaguchi (Southern Japan), while the other one was from Iwate (Northern Japan)
As I explained earlier, it's easy to get out of your seat while dining like this.
Wanna see the bathroom in JAL business class? Let's check it out.
Dental kit with mouth wash.
Those who care about skins while flying, they offer some Shiseido skin lotion.
The size of the bathroom is slightly larger than the economy one.
But not much different.
Let's make my bed.,
Often times the foot area is restricted in business class but not JAL Sky Suite I
So spacious.
Here's what you would see when you are in bed.
Due to the high partition wall, nobody can see your sleeping face.
It truly feels like a private space.
Once the cabin lighting was dimmed, the crew set up some snacks and drinks in the galley.
I tempted to grab some but decided to order the food from the menu.
I ordered the JAL noodle and Fumiko's sandwich.
Sorry, this sandwich was awful!
The bottom portion of the bread was soggy.
Well, what did I think about the JAL business class?
The food in the lounge was great despite that the lounge was crowded.
The seat is very private if you sit by the window.
The crew was friendly and fun.
The food was excellent except for the sandwich.
Very comfortable way to travel fo sure.
