• What's JAL's inflight entertainment like?

It's generally quite good. All JAL international aircrafts should have personal TV. There are four systems: MAGIC III, MAGIC IV, MAGIC V, and MAGIC VI.

All systems provide AVOD in ALL classes.

MAGIC V and VI have the most films available and is commonly found on SKY SUITE versions of 777, SKY SUITE and SKYRECLINER versions of 763, and all versions of 787. JAL changes its film selections each calendar month. Every seat, including economy class, has a personal video screen with any MAGIC system. All three systems offer flight mapping details, including estimated time of arrival. All three feature multiple audio channels with a substantial variety of prerecorded music.

Although MAGIC IV was developed after MAGIC III, it has less films available and are found on 738 used on short international flights.

Most if not all films are shown uncensored, so please supervise your children if you have any concerns about salty dialog, the female breast or male buttocks, or realistic violence on the small screen. There's always at least one film suitable for children among the selections, and some MAGIC systems offer kid-friendly video games.

Standard three-prong North American/Japanese-style 110 volt electrical outlets are available at each seat in business class and first class on most long haul international aircraft. Business and first class passengers can also take advantage of JAL's in-flight notebook computer battery loaner program. Some aircraft have lavatories, in all classes, equipped with electric outlets for shavers.
