Great find!
I can only find routings (FEB '16) that are showing on the 767 KUL-NRT, the 772 KUL-JFK and the 787-8 to BOS. I know the 767 only has recliners and I thinkthe 772/787-8 is angle flat? Can't find KUL-NRT on 787 or NRT-JFK on 773 (which is amazing - I flew on it to SYD). Or has expedia.co.uk loaded the wrong ac types?

NRT-BOS switching to Sky Suite (flat, positively reviewed) in June this year.
I'm re-reading your post and it looks like you meant FEB 2017.
I'm currently booked on the KUL-NRT flight this December, and my flight info is listing the 787. Maybe Expedia has the wrong AC type.

True. I'm looking forward to a fascinating 4½ hours at CMB next week, starting on Monday night at 10:55 p.m. As far as mileage goes, there is a 10K bonus each way for QR Privilege Club on my DOH-BOS and return legs. BOS service is relatively new for QR (and it's with a 350, too!!).

I think this fare reflects such superb value quite simply because discounted J class flights on JL are extremely rare to find. Unlike QR/MH.

IMHO the new JAL product is by far the best out there. The catering I enjoyed is truly sensational also (especially if one enjoys japanese cuisine).

Thanks for the info. I'll try to find a competitive fare on JL metal which allows me to try this. They start flying the new J to BOS in June, I'm told.

There are also a few "new" ex-Canada prices that are pretty attractive. ex-YYZ and ex-YUL to NRT for USD $2500 in J. ex-YVR too, but that's on the sub-par J product.
