I was at Logan on Sunday afternoon/evening taking Swiss to Zurich. JAL had monopolized most of the counters there including the ones used by Swiss. There was a bit of tension when Swiss showed up and told the JAL folks to vacate the counters... The counters were divided into "transfers" and "hotel" - they put everyone up at the Logan Hilton who did not want to transfer. Seemed to be handled very well. Agree with Pickles that most pax were Japanese.

I just checked a booking I have for an unrelated reason when I got a notice of a flight change. Searching through the booking, I found the notice was for JL36 SIN-HND NOV 19. The times changed from 2155-0550+1 to 2200-0540+1 with 787 removed from "Aircraft type" (which is now blank).
Any idea's about what's happening?

This should be the 2nd roundtrip of this particular aircraft (JA822J) and it requires maintenance that cause a delay of 24 hours already Good that JAL stages the BOS launch to 4 weekly flights for exactly this reason ^
Anyone knows what's wrong with the aircraft?

Any idea what exactly is going on over there at JL with their 787's? If memory serves NH didn't have quite as many problems when they first took delivery of these birds....

Great another GEnx failure which might indicate a design flaw. Hopefully they can find out the problem and have a fix ASAP for the JAL 787 fleet

So there could be more potential problems to the GEnx engine
failure on a Boeing Co. BA -0.21% 747-8 this month differed from an earlier incident and an inspection finding, though they have yet to determine the exact cause.
