• What is JAL's aircraft seating like?

Above average and consistent with a premium Asian airline's standard of service. You should expect an exceptionally neat and clean seat. Recaro designs many of JAL's seats in all classes. International economy seat pitch is generally 33 inches, and footrests are available in most long haul international aircraft.

Long haul international business class features either Skyluxe, Shell Flat, Shell Flat NEO or Skyrecliner seating.

The Skyluxe is a traditional, reclining seat which is quite comfortable.
The Skyrecliner is the latest regional business class seat designed after JAL domestic F seat. It is still a reclining seat that doesn't go fully flat.
The "Shell Flat" seats recline to a fully flat (but slightly inclined) position.
The NEO seat is an updated version of the Shell Flat seat and is still an angled flat seat.

JAL has announced a new full-flat bed business class seats and new seats in ALL cabin. These new seats will make its way to key US and Europe routes from early 2013. NRT-LHR will be the first route to get the new seats from January 9 2013.

Also JAL will start rolling out redesigned seats on select 767-300ER planes. JAL is also currently looking into redesigning the 777-200ER cabins.

First class is, of course, wonderful, especially with the state of art JAL Suite seats.

JAL Premium Economy class feature the award winning JAL Sky Shell seat, which is the first shell seats in PY cabin in the world. Passengers in front of you won't be reclining into your personal space but this is still a PY seat and you shouldn't expect to have a comfortable sleep like one would get in C/F.

On domestic services you can expect economy class with good seats but possibly less seat pitch, depending on aircraft. "Class J" business class features a larger, mini-Skyluxe type of seat. And of course the JAL Domestic F seat is wonderful.

JAL's Web site has pictures of their seating.
