JAL- worst customer service ever.

I recently flew JAL in long haul business class between Haneda and Dallas. I was pleasantly surprised to see how attentive and polite the cabin crew are. It made for a really memorable experience.

PLEASE please please show ALL the menus! That's literally 80% of the reason I watch these types of videos! I pause and read through every option. It's so interesting to see different options and then the actual serving of what you choose. For me, I really would/ have (by have, I mean twice in my life) purchased first class based on food.

I can't wait to try JAL first class, too at the end of July 2022! I only had about 42k Alaska miles so I bought 33k miles more to complete the 75k award miles needed for my one-way flight. All in all, I only paid $680 for this $10,000 flight. How cool is that?!

Have you ever considered riding on a Japanese ferry before? It's quite the experience and I definitely think it would be worthwhile trying it out at least once. Only when the country's actually open to tourists of course! Love the vid btw! Can't believe people are still hating on the Ripped Jeans and the NASA Jacket tho.

Now THAT is a great way to travel to Japan!! Love that you didn't just stick to the "western" menu and went on the Tour of Japan. So cool they provided a "map" of the offerings as I would have no clue what most of that was. Seaweed gelatin? I'd try it once for sure....but normally pass on that stuff. Great review as always!! Maybe someday I'll get to Japan for real? The boss isn't sending me anytime soon... haha.

I Played in Japan for 3 years back in the 90s. Even then their coach has better service than some of the business class here in America. FYI, My wife was a senior flight attendant for Singapore airlines and was surprised how there's is a lack of service on some short first class flights.

Even if he doesn't or can't leave the airport, that's fine. The international airports in Japan are incredible

Came across your video yesterday and I’m hooked watching them full of information and attention to detail. I’m off work for two days now so binge watching them thank you

Spectacular Japan! I’m glad you had a great experience with Japan Air. Cherry blossom trees are my absolute favorite trees in the world. That was a nice treat at the end. Great video!

The content that Will gives us is definitely worth more than 100k subscribers. Love the videos keep it up

I loved going to japan back in 2018. My dad grew up in japan and unfortunately, we had to fly back for the funeral of my dad's uncle but the service and quality of everything onboard jal were amazing. We flew business class and I must say I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Arguably one of my favorite flights regardless of the extremely long flight (flew from Los Angeles).

The first class culinary adventure is such a nicely produced part of these travel videos. I come away hungry after watching!

I've spent the past 3 days binge watching your videos. Love these reviews x

compared to a lot of your other first class videos this seems to be your favorite and seems rightfully so.

Also, the trains videos be KILLING it. Love to see it man, highly enjoy the chann and glad I found it

Thank you so much, Trek for sharing your amazing experience in JAL.

Almost 200k! So happy how fast you are growing. Keep it up!

This channel is honestly guaranteed entertainment- great video as always Will! Keep the grind going! ✈️🛫

JAL is amazing. Flown it plenty of times out of ORD. I find the Japanese menu to be better from Tokyo than from the US. I always do Western Menu leaving USA and Japanese menu leaving Japan. Also, Salon champagne is incredible.. Best in the world, imo.

I knew this was going to be a great review. Rarely does anyone go wrong when it comes to Japan hospitality.

Wowzers! I really enjoyed this video. i hope you post more!

I flew to Japan with my family at the end of 2019 just before the pandemic lockdown happened. We flew JAL Business class on the 777. The Sky Suite wasn't leather or as nicely laid out but we did get the Hibiki and the fantastic menu. Unfortunately the slippers were too small for my feet so I couldn't wear them but being able to lay back flat and sleep was amazing.

In 2014 I flew in a Qantas B747 into Narita. Was a wonderful trip; amazing experience all the bags coming onto the carousel oriented with the handles facing you; took a coach to Yokohama and the terminal staff all bowed when the bus departed; complete strangers would come up to me and offer a cold bottle of water during the heatwave. Wonderful culture and people there.

I just recently found your channel and am enjoying your videos so much. Makes me want to start traveling again! Thank you for your hard work!!

Absolutely love your videos mate keep them coming 👍

The FOOD on this flight is just INSANE! I’m impressed with this airline. Happy they’re in the one world alliance

Incredible experience. I can only dream of being able to do something like that once in my life.

love all the amazing pottery they used for the food. really a great touch

Happy to live vicariously through your experiences. One day i hope to travel in such luxury

What can I say! This video brought back some wonderful memories of my own experience flying Japan Airlines First Class just over a month ago from Tokyo Haneda to London Heathrow. It's definitely one of the world's best first class products and flying the wrong way round the world from Japan to the UK for 16 hours was definitely not enough for me 😅

They're heading in the right direction. They've began opening up the tourism sector, but only for guided tours. However, I heard that next year they expect tourism levels to approach pre-pandemic levels, as Japan gradually eases the restrictions.

JAL is simply one of the most impressive first class indeed! Thank you for a great video!

I love that steaming eye mask. Always a treat when you travel. I am so addicted to your videos! Your descriptions are always so detailed and like I experience it myself. Thank you.

From US 1 trick is to fly to Seattle and stay overnight. It cuts the final part of the flight down to 9 hours.

Love your videos. Thanks for the content. I think you have two different flight maps. The first shows you flying East, the second shows flying Weat.

Will, I always hit the like button before I even start the video, that’s how good your work is. Keep it up mate! Cheers 🥂🥂🥂

Thank you! I was thinking of using my Alaska miles on first class JAL and this just solidifies my decision! Japan here I come!!

Something very comforting about these videos

Enjoy your vids. I am old enough to remember when men wore suits and women wore dresses when flying, regardless of class. Times change. Stay safe in your travels.

Me waiting for the day Japan opens up for tourism :( love the videos btw always a chill watch!

I don't know why I enjoy binging these flight reviews so much but once I get started I can't stop. I'm 2 hours deep rn

Once again, a fantastic experience.

Another excellent travel video. Thank you for such a reassuring video that first class is alive and well in JAL. Sadly, all first class is in the USA is nothing more than "Coach Plus" where first class is filled with people getting upgraded and as a result the airlines reacts accordingly meaning first class is devalued. I took my ailing Dad across the US in first class and it was not that great. Coach passengers regularly used the first class restroom talking and shutting the restroom door and standing in the aisles waiting to use the facility. JAL is the new true first class and I am happy you got to experience it.

That was amazing, a trip to Japan is definitely on my bucket list & 1st class as well as I will be coming from Australia I'll get my moneys worth.

A brilliant Video. Thanks for showing us. Well Done!!!

Love the new timbs! Thats a great color

Why did you go east instead of west?? 🤔 That was just an error in the beginning as it looks like you actually flew west which would make more sense.

nice review. I wish reviewers would add what the seat cost was for flight. I get that changes and also point and upgrades but still nice to know.

I had no idea this was even possible. 🥰 Love it.

only travelled premium on JAL but it was amazing and despite being seated from London to Hanada, i woke up refreshed and for once feeling on the correct timeline! Best airline ever.

That’s definitely the way I would want to travel if I was going long-haul. Food looked amazing Mr. Trendy! I could eat a pound of that sashimi. By the way I can’t believe you’re almost at 200K subs. That certainly was quick!❤️👍✈️

I was the best Man at my best friends wedding in Japan. I was so excited. It was my first time ever in Japan. I got to the airport and I just noticed that I forgot my passport. I missed my fight and the wedding. I haven’t been back to Japan since. I was going to fly business class. Its been eight years since that day, it still haunts me. Thanks for sharing this great trip!

With preboarding and delays on the tarmack due to the unpredictable weather in the bay area, I was sitting in my economy plus seat alongside my family for a little less than 17 hours, we timed it. Check it out one day if you have not already (:
