JAL 001/002 Question
Hi, I was wondering since JAL 001/002 will be switching to SFO-HND pending approval, will the aircraft and classes be changed also? Will F still have the new suites? I checked JAL's website and it just said it will be 777-200/300... so I'm not sure what it will mean.
Thanks!
Thanks!

By the way, JAL removes the notice of the US flights are subject to regulatory approval from the American region site...not sure if that means those have been approved.

Oh man, that's too bad I was really hoping to try the F suites from SFO next spring.
So will the only West Coast destination with F suites be LAX from then on?

I still see the "pending govt approval" once I go to the select flight page. Also, how come I can still choose first class seats for the SFO-HND flights thru next April? Odd.

You are right, no more First class to SFO. Where will they deploy the aircrafts ( with new onboard products) used to SFO? will they use them to Europe? any insight on this will be appreciated.

Hehe...JAL needs one extra 773 to deploy this to LHR or CDG. I m not sure if they are taking any more 773 deliveries at the moment. They were scheduled to take more this fall but do they need that anymore?

Hi JALPak, I saw that F was still available in April 2011 using the North American JAL site. I search for flights using the Business/First option, then when the list of available flights come up, I can choose F (the price is different too). Check it out and you'll see what I mean.
Also, do you know if LAX will still have F since they will still be flying to NRT?
Thanks!

JAL North America site's booking engine hasn't been updated. I always trust the Japan one if there are conflicts. If you try to book the flight and select the seat, you will see the seats assigned is a business class seat on a 772 (well, at least you will see it if you know JAL configs as well as I do )

Looks like JAL has canceled its remaining 773 orders. So no more scheduled 773 deliveries. You will only see JAL Suites make it to Europe when JAL reconfigure the older 773

OK I finally find out where the SFO 777-300ER is going...
JAL starts FIRST class service to Jarkata on Oct 31 2010
Sorry folks at LHR and CDG, looks like you guys have to wait a bit longer

I guess JAL doesn't have any good management anymore

But I am surprised to see this goes to CGK too...I would rather see them use this on LHR or CDG, even if it is for alternate dates only...But I guess CGK works better for their aircraft routing

I guess if they cut one of the three daily Tokyo-BKK flight, then they might be able to do that...But it's a JO flight, that might be another reason why JAL not using this on BKK.
