Japan Airlines Business Class – Tokyo Narita to Sydney (JL 771) – Boeing 787-9 HD

After coming off a British Airways flight from London Heathrow (BA 5), I head to the Japan Airlines First Class lounge to freshen up before my flight to Sydney. I spend a few hours here reviewing the lounge environment/ambience, seating, staff service, food/drink offerings, shower/spa and business facilities. I head to the gate early to board JL 771, which is a Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9. Priority boarding is well organised for Business Class and Oneworld status guests, but there are a LOT of them! The B787-9 has 44 SkySuite seats spread out over two Business Class cabins. I review the SkySuite seat in immense detail throughout the flight, with a focus on the different seating positions, storage spaces, legroom, seat space, IFE, lighting and so forth. During the 9 hour flight, two meals are served – dinner and breakfast – and I enjoyed how there are both Japanese and Western food options. Throughout the flight, passengers have access to a dine-anytime menu with various of meals and snacks to choose from. I get to sample the lie-flat bed on this red-eye flight. Although the cushioning of the seat and pillow is on the firm side, I still get a good night’s rest. The SkySuite is very private due to the hardshell and wall partitions surrounding the seat. A decent amenity kit by Zero Halliburton is provided, as well as a Japan Airlines jacket (not pyjama) to keep you warm throughout the flight Although the flight departed Tokyo late, the pilots did an impressive job making up for lost time such that we landed early in Sydney. Being a Business Class passenger, I was able to disembark the plane early to be reunited with my priority-tagged luggage. _ Music: When the summer comes By Audio_labs https://audiojungle.net/item/confidence-and-success-pack/1453131 Bright and optimistic By maxvic https://audiojungle.net/item/inspiring-uplifting-corporate-pack/6847856 Intense inspiration By maxvic https://audiojungle.net/item/inspiring-uplifting-corporate-pack/6847856 Background music for "A tourist from Italy visits a historical town, Kamakura" By Japan Airlines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBaS18gWczw&t=183s Fly First Class on Etihad Airways By Etihad Airways https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMSBuXY2t7U Inspiring reflections By Audiophile – Trax https://audiojungle.net/item/uplifting-inspirational-pack/6886115 Memories By "Royalty Free Music from Bensound" http://www.bensound.com/memories Tenderness From Royalty Free Music from Bensound https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/tenderness Sweet By "Royalty Free Music from Bensound" http://www.bensound.com/sweet Bright and optimistic By maxvic https://audiojungle.net/item/inspiring-uplifting-corporate-pack/6847856
