I wonder which version of the 77W JAL sends for the HND-HKG route. No F for NRT's 767.

Yea, indeed would be interesting to know if JAL provides F to HKG. I haven't flown it to/from HKG on JAL before that's for sure.

None of the flight JL going to HKG has F service

I think JAL sends their 772 to Hong Kong with JAL Shell Flat for their Haneda flight

For their Narita Flight, I recall it is 767 with Skyluxe (the most aged seat similar to CX Old Regional J)

Going OT, but does JL have any consistency across the aircraft's they use for these regional routes? Or are they all subjected to swaps too?

Was going to post about this... what happened to KIX? (Have a KIX award booked for the KIX DO, but have been seemingly downgraded to J; not soo excited about that.) Tempted to route via HND, but will require another flight to KIX [and probably an overnight near HND as CX542 seems to be my favorite CX route with the 744]

Slightly off-topic, but looks there is no CX F to any Australian destinations ?

Thanks & regards,

Correct. They are apparently 'open to' F for SYD, but doesn't sound like anything will change soon: http://australianaviation.com.au/201...ss-for-sydney/

I quite surprised that JL sends 77W version with F class to CGK and they don't offer F cabin on any of HKG flights despite the status of HKG and the high demand for F cabin in HKG market :confused:

Now that JL is the only airline to provide F cabin all the way from ORD to CGK via TYO, I switched all my travel from CX to JL for that convenience.

I don't think CGK has F service on JL now.

JL725 leaving from NRT to CGK at 10.55am daily has F cabin.

I'll be in Asia sometime next year and one of my goals in life is to experience Cathay's first class lounge at HKG. Is the only short-haul route from HKG that offers first class from HKG to HND?

HND is usually "guaranteed" to have F service. Other intra-Asia F destinations including BKK,SIN, ICN might sell F at first, but you have to bet CX won't swap to J-only service last minute.

Also TPE, the shortest F route.

Only 4 flights sold for F though, out of 20 or so flights daily - not sure what that means with regards to equipment roulette.

Manila has a few with F every day usually as well.

So has KIX F service been officially suspended? I have an used award ticket got downgraded on KIX flight too.
