Hii Shervin!! :)

Sebby chillin in the background is my favorite 😂

Excellent review. Thankyou.

I didn’t know they have a terminal to order food, granted the only fancy international flights I’ve done are Singapore Airline 1st class, Delta One and Korean Air business class

Very entertaining and informative. Thank you.

I really liked this vid, the best part is Sebby in the background being random. Any chance of a breakdown on how you used points to book this trip? I'm planning on using points to fly my wife and kids to Japan in the next year or so and want to go business class.

Used Alaska miles to book the trip. JAL business class (old product) is usually wide open. First is harder to find.

For flights departing from the US to Japan, it's always a struggle for Japanese airlines to match the quality expected by Japanese passengers. Japanese expats and visitors tend to lower expectations because the food is made in the US. Even US airlines have better food for flights returning from Japan because they use Japanese catering services.

Very nice. Have fun you two and keep up the good work with your videos. ✌️👍🏿

Love the review. JAL business class is a cozy setup!

Excellent efficient presentation that covered the key areas.

I really appreciate that you showed the middle seat. The other flight reviews I've watched always stick in their own window or aisle seat. I'm going to be in the middle seat on my flight home and it was nice to get a little preview of what it will be like.

I enjoyed my flights on JAL Business Class, will travel with them again to Bangkok.

🍹 I know you typically fly delta when it comes to domestic airlines, but have you flown the United 777 in Polaris business class? If so, would you fly it again?

@MandyRoams

Haven't flown Polaris yet. Never got upgraded when we had United status :(

Love watching you both with your humour!

I enjoyed your honest review

I wasn't aware that online menus were available? considering the relatively small numbers in business class I think its just as easy to ask one of the stewards as they are always walking around? well thats on Singapore Airlines anyway.

I Love The Japanese Cuisine Aboard.Great Trip Report

Thanks for the in depth video. Strange that food can be bad. Japanese food isn't difficult to be great

Might be a one off situation where they overcooked the chicken. It was extremely dry.

Can't wait for this exact flight in may... now I need to go check my seat I picked.

How much did you pay to fly Japan airlines? I know you use points to book your flights.

Interesting review! I agree with you about storage for the seat. I think I would feel claustrophobic in the window seat with no window along the center of the wall. How does JAL compare to the Delta One service you took last year to Japan, I think. Looking forward to skiing and hotel tour video. Have fun!

Always love the details you provide in your reviews. I may or may not have said “grape juice” out loud when you ordered the non-alcoholic wine. 😂

Great video Mandy. are you and Sebastian dubious about the new metal Ritz’ being the same as the originals, and importantly, its ability to chop vegetables?

@gonzalesg0221

Unfortunately it's not the same as the original. It's similar to the Amex Platinum (18g)now, so in between the weights of the original RC card(20g+) and the outgoing one (13g).

hi Mandy, comparing this to your ANA business class flight back from HND to SFO... which is better in terms of seat and meals? thanks

I like JAL more, but definitely try to fly one of the new products if you can!

Also, how did you like Business Class relative to First Class for JAL Boeing 777? Worth waiting for a first class seat and spending the extra points in your opinion?

🍹 Sebby always wears the same black shirt in every video even if he’s not supposed to be in them lol. I’ll be flying HND to SFO in March and I believe it’s the same plane configuration. It’ll be my first time on business class so it looks like overall it will be great experience. Do you normally skip alcoholic beverages? I’m allergic so it’s non alcoholic the entire way.

Haha, black shirts are his uniform. One less decision. Non-alcoholic this time since we were landing in Tokyo in the afternoon, and had some meetings setup. Can't be running around or on video with an Asian glow!

I hope you’re taking JAL just for a review, ANA has a lot better business product, from LAX or SFO, 121 configuration, I fly to Vietnam, as well as Thailand, three or four times a year, sorry, but I couldn’t do it on JAL 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

That’s too bad. I got it for $5k from SFO. Booked a separate flight using miles to get to SFO from PHX since airline wanted to charge $2k more just to go from PHX to SFO to HND on one ticket rather than two.

Ana seating looks better.

I don't like it to ride on 'Boeing Jets Type'. Be careful what you wish for.

Non alcoholic wine? Are you preggo?
