Appreciate you could direct me in the direction on finding out more about the economy seat on JL 38 and 6. I cant seem to find out if the economy are the hard shell like that of ANA and CX. Thanks!

JL 38 is a 772, not a 773 (77W). Seatmap below. JL is a 773 (77W), and the seat maps are well published on JAL website (there is only one version of the 77W)

Thank you! I did go to the home page but cant seem find the infor. Nevertheless,I did find thepointguy's review on it and it seems good. I find the hard shell on CX which just slight instead of a true recline very uncomfortable for my back. Tried it once and I try to avoid if possible for long flight.

Good to know. Managed to put on hold an economy seat on JL 38/6 - sister-in-law and brother commented that the economy seat on JL from SIN to Hokkaido was tight.

The domestic seats are more compact than the international. The Singapore to Tokyo seats are definitely not tight.

So I am very grateful to be able to get feedback and information to help make my travel abit less stressful and abit more comfortable if possible especially as I get older .
Having said that, when I flew on Japan Airlines 10 years back - haha.. _ I did find it abit tight SFO - NRT - SIN. But I did like the amt of cushion it had. So with the new seat, it will be interesting to find out if it will be as comfortable as the old seat I have experienced before. But I will keep an eye out for the CX business class back to the US.
