So I got to finally try the new J cabin on a flight to ICN (believe it or not but miraculously the new cabin held since my booking last June 2022 )
I chose seat 1L and the difference with other rows is really huge, I really enjoyed the experience !
Some few notes:
- The service starts from the back on this cabin ( for the first business cabin from row 7). So seat 1 L has really very low traffic as all crew is between row 7 and 9.
- There is one toilet on the front (seems the other one was blocked for pilots use ? As I see 2 on Aerolopa's seat map).
- Screens look really small on rows 1-9 because the wall is so big at the front.
- Table is really small compared to other J cabins.
- I personally found the seat quite similar to BEST in terms of size/comfort, except the foot rest which is of course bigger on this row, although I ended up using a small space of it most of the time because I was watching the screen.
- The little door was quite nice to have for privacy although it can close quite hard if you don’t hold it yourself a little bit. I wonder how they hold with time because I don’t think everyone will care if they close hard or not.

Unfortunately on the way back the plane got changed to a B772 and I got quite an old seat with quite a lot of tears but the amazing service covered for it.

some photos below:


The first row (and row 9) are really much bigger than other ones. “Downside” is the screen looks really small on these rows.


I was really surprised by the size of the table, it is really really small, once the tray is there you can put anything else. Even the purser I got was very surprised by the small size( it was her first flight on this cabin)
