Well my family of 4 will be on JL735 just after Christmas in J. Now that it has been upgraded I look forward to it even more as I have never tried JL. Originally I was hoping to get JL29 as we stay at Shinagawa and also better seats, but no award seats available at that time.

Looks like 80000 Avios well spent.

Comfortwise, definitely. 8-abreast 787 (which is in itself more generous than the 9-abreast industry norm) beats 10-abreast 777 any day. Boarding is also less chaotic on JLs 787s with the smaller Y cabins.


The downsides are the inferior IFE, and the much lower op-up chances if youre a CX/OW elite.
