YouTube search it and you will see examples of people with USB fans on the JAL international flights.
I personally have a small hand-held AA battery powered fan, a popular item to have to cope with the hot Japanese summers, and I use it on JAL/ANA flights when needed.
Wonderful! Thank you for the reply
I'll do some research and grab a couple before our trip. I'm used to layering up on planes, so this will certainly be different!

Gotta admit, I wouldn't have thought of that! We're on the left side going both ways, but I'll see if I can move our seats. Excellent idea and thank you for the thread link!
