I will provide a more detailed write up later, suffice to say my experience was very good (as it was with my previous JL F flight from NRT to ORD a year and a half ago). Good food, service and a comfortable seat - although I would say it was more of a refresh of their “JAL SUITE” rather than a completely new F product.

I flew JL F nrt /ord this past January. Your pictures bring back fond memories. I believe JL has really picked up their F game. In my view they have surpassed CX F which I just flew ord/hkg five weeks ago and I will be flying cx f hkg/ord this Thursday 5/22.

Interestingly, my opinion of JL 6 in F is very different. Flew about two months ago. I had the Japanese meal and thought that it was AOK, but not better. Far below that served on NH. The bedding, IMO, is pathetic. Sure, it's that foam product; but it's way too thin, especially when compared to the CX feather mattress. And the pillow was a rectangular piece of the mattress product cut into the shape of a pillow. Pillows need loft. Finally, I thought that there was more of a language problem on JL than on NH. (There's no language problem on CX, of course, but that's expected.) For OW F between Asia and the US I'll be sticking with CX.
