JAPAN Airlines (JAL) is set to become the only carrier offering First class seats between Australia and Japan, confirming it will introduce Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on its Sydney-Tokyo/Haneda route from 01 Sep.
The plane will be configured with a First class cabin of eight seats featuring the JAL Suite and the first flight on the aircraft from Sydney will depart on 02 Sep.
JAL told Travel Daily overall, this new aircraft would represent a 25% increase in capacity on the route, and the reintroduction of First class on the route for the first time since 2017.
The seat types in the Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins on the Boeing 777-300ER will continue to be the same as those on board the current Boeing 787-9 which operated the route, namely the JAL Sky Suite in Business class (49 lie-flat seats all with direct aisle access), JAL Sky Premium in Premium Economy (40 seats), and the JAL Sky Wider seat in Economy (147 seats).
JAL’s current Sydney-Tokyo/Narita service (JL772/JL771) will move to Tokyo/Haneda (JL052/JL051) from 29 Mar, enabling same-day connections to 23 domestic destinations in Japan, as well as connections on to Europe and North America.
JAL’s First class fares from Australia to Japan will be on sale from 31 Jan.
