JAL periodically releases First Class award seats within 7-10 days of travel on select routes. SFO is the most recent route and I was fortunate to grab one a few days before my planned departure.



Dated but still pleasant cabin.



Since I booked last minute, only inside seats were available.



But I lucked out with the an empty seat 1G next to me.



Today's menu...





The good champagne only in the air.





Showtime: JAL First style.



Today I opted for the western menu not realizing that it included full servings of everything on the menu.



Veal starter was meh.





Swordfish ragout was quite good.



The Chilean Sea Bass was fabulous.



As if I needed anything else, prime tenderloin filet.



Just a tad rare. LOL.





Nap time as our FA made a bed for me next door in unoccupied 1G.



And a bite prior to landing.



Ridiculous Haneda immigration mob scene. 70 minutes to reach an agent.
