Ugh I wish the red eye flight wasn't on the old 767... might have to rethink flying into HCMC and out of Hanoi to avoid that if I can.

I know the SGN-HND flight gets in around 22:00... think it's worth transferring to NRT, staying for a short overnight and flying out for a 11 am flight? Never had to switch airports in Tokyo... not sure if the product is worth it!

Just flew in the new seat on NRT-SIN (JL711).

Booked into 2K, which is towards the window, vs. being in the aisle.

Will get some better photos posted in the next few days, once I get to AKL. Missed the actual cabin service (slept the whole way from NRT-SIN), but I did get some pics of the seat before falling asleep.

Having taken SS6 twice now, I can firmly say that I dislike it. The mattress is hard and the given pillow doesn't fit into the head space when in full recline.

The ones closest to the window feel the 'tightest'. If you want a window seat, at least choose the ones that are slightly apart from the window.

Also why the crappy headphones unlike the noise canceling ones of SS7?

Excellent... going to SGN April via NRT (stopover), so the new seats will be appreciated. And now with the retiming of JL750 inbound, NRT may become more attractive as a connection back to the US... though only 1.5 hour connect cuts it close, and cuts down on lounge time significantly. Gotta get in my shower + curry before the next flight!

Thanks for the reference points. Just flew AA MCE DFW-HKG... 16 hours is always tough in Y, but the MCE seats made it doable.

I just booked JL33 HND-BKK for traveling in mid March. The booking engine says that my flight will have the old Skyluxe seats instead of the SS6. However, the returning JL32 still shows up as SS6. What's going on here? And actually around my date, there seems to be no SS6 going in to BKK at all while there's one going back to HND everyday. I really hope I'll get the SS6!

JAL SS6 roll out schedule and seat map

Took SS6 biz a few days ago on HNDBKK. For me, taller than 180 cm with wide shoulder, width at full flat position was tight indeed. Still, way better than JAL's antique B767 cradle seat with 2-2-2 configuration, which I've avoided over several years.

Flew the SS6 this month too. Did 3K and 2A. The seats that are nearer the aisle are very open and the width is indeed a problem as you cannot lean out into the aisle without risking getting hit. 2A allows for leaning towards the wall side. Would give up window in rows 1,3,5 and rather take D on 2,4,6 and vice versa.
