This could be due to space/function limitations of the 787 galley but I bet you can't eat/order all the stuff on that any time you wish list. Tried it once but got full half-way throught the list and dozed off to sleep like a pig...but if you are traveling as a family, then you can order everything I guess and sample/share them with everyone...

787-9 (SS9) Seat Config is also out and first flight will be NRT-CGK JL725/726 from 01Jul.
This means that the 1st 787-9 originally scheduled for Apr delivery will be delayed while the 2nd 787-9 will be sometime Nov.
Total seats 195 (44C/35PY/116Y) which I think would become the roomiest/least dense 787-9 around.

NRT-SYD is going back to the 772 from March 29, thus ending F on that route as well. Here's the English press release: http://press.jal.co.jp/en/release/201501/003202.html

My gut feel tells me they will announce soon the gradual refurbishment of 772ERs/W51 this year as I notice they will have spares available with all these aircraft changes...crossing my fingers...
But then it might not make it in time for my biz trip....

Has JAL made any official announcement re refurbishment of existing 787s? Looking at KIX - LAX in March of next year and wondering what product we may have.

Nothing for now expect NEO seats. Don't think JL is getting too many 787s this year and I wouldn't put LAX on the top of the list unless KIX-LHR is resumed.

Yes according to the plan when SS8 was announced but JAL said it may change in the future
