My photos are rubbish but there's plenty of reviews online. It's a shell type seat which reclines to a good angle, legroom and width is good (being 190cm and 90kg). Better than the regional J seats at MAS. Food onboard was the standard Y offering but fortunately the JAL First Class lounge in Haneda is fantastic.
That’s helpful and provides clarity, thanks for sharing. It seems that if PY isn’t being sold separately on a particular route, in this case HND-GMP, they’ll have it available for select Y passengers for free or others for fee. The US carriers sometimes do something similar when positioning wide bodies domestically.
Free PY on long hauls for Y fares would be a game changer though, maybe too OP.
