Not a usual 'hood mentioned on FT...what'd you think?

I quite like the area and the Westin has great breakfasts for PLT. It is also within easy reach of both JR lines and the Tokyo Metro.

JL has *really* stepped up their game!

It was a very different experience from my first JL F several years ago.

Thanks harrison1186. I took the PJ with me and no one asked for them back. I did notice on CX they had cards that said the PJs could be taken but if they were left onboard they would be washed and donated to shelters and the like.

I was glad I opted for JL on this route as the other OW that operates this route doesn't even come close.

I think it is nice to try new things and am sure you won't be disappointed if you give JL a shot.

I noticed that the HKG-HND menu is the same as what I had for HKG-NRT last week!

Thanks MilesBuzz. I see JALPak has answered your question already.

I only realised myself that CX recycle the Kaiseki when I saw the dish presented in the scallop shell in your report.
