Just want to confirm that this is what you were referring to?

Have you taken the flight out of YVR yet? Does the JL J-fare allow me to access CX lounge at YVR?

You're the best!

In your opinion, which is the better product?
That depends on your metrics. It is full flat. It is rather om the narrow side. For a day flight I would prefer the old NEO seat.

EDIT: I take back what was here before

Yes you'll get allowed in, as lucky for you there appears to also be a 2pm YVR-HKG flight. The CX lounge is closed between 2pm and ~8pm, and the JL flight appears to depart at 2pm.

What hard product is JL using on JL17 in July? I see it's a 767 but is it one of those horrid angled seats or a full lie flat now?

Seat Guru says width in inches on AA 767 in J is 19.8 and JAL is 25.5.
I completely disagree. I'm a big guy and I found the JL seat tight. Both in the shoulder area and the hips.
I also didn't like the arm rest didn't go down increase the sleeping space.
I found the table space too big. I would have personally preferred more seat space.

Some of the SKY SUITE II armrest can go down. Look at the flat bed pic yourself: https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/servi...skysuite2.html. Guess you were stuck in one of the seats that's between 2 side console?

I don't know why anyone would trust seat guru when JAL has clearly published the info themselves on the website and the seat width between armrest is ~52cm

I recently flew YVR-NRT-BKK-NRT-YVR. On the YVR to NRT flights the aircraft was a 767 with SkySuiteII. The NRT to BKK leg was a 787 with the Shell Flat Neo seats. I actually felt I had more room in the seat on the 787. However there is more privacy on the 767 with the Sky SuiteII. I was able to sleep on both aircraft. I concur that on the 787 with the NEO flat seat that row 7 is ideal because the bulkhead allows the window seat occupant to get up and leave the seat with out disturbing the aisle passenger due to the bulk head. BTW, I never was aware of any odor from the restroom. JAL in J keeps the restrooms clean throughout the entire flight.
