Today we will be travelling onboard Japan Airlines, which has been awarded by SKYTRAX as having the world's best economy class. Having travelled on every airline that flies between London and Tokyo (BA, ANA, and now JAL), how does it compare to other airlines, and does it deserve the title of being the world's best Economy Class and the best airline to fly this route?
Join me on this 12-hour flight from London Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda onboard one of Japan Airlines's Boeing 787-8 aircraft in Economy Class for this brutally honest review/vlog hybrid video.

I prefer the 787 for the higher air pressurization inside the cabin. All other planes are more difficult to rest due to the lower pressurization. Makes a difference in humidity, restfulness, and long haul flight comfort.

Thanks for this. I'm flying this route in 2025. This gives me a honest review of what to expect. I read a lot of negative reviews of this carrier (mostly from those flying from the US to other destinations) and as getting worried!

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney 3 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm surprised you've heard so many negative reviews about JAL. On my 20+ JAL flights within the past few years, I've found very little to complain about (and I'm quite hard to please!) Sure, their First and Business class products don't stand out above the rest (particularly on B777/787, but the A350-1000 soon to be introduced on the London route looks to change this) and perhaps the Economy fares are a little pricey, but nobody travels with JAL because they're cheapest option. You're in for a treat on your flight!

Hi, great video! I enjoyed your review. I had a question: will the 787 really be replaced by the 777 by the time of this summer? I know there was a news about it being replaced even earlier, but checking on flightradar the 787 is still flying (JL42). Thanks have a good one!

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney 6 месяцев назад

The 787-9 is indeed flying the route at the moment. The 777 was sort of phased out on JL41/42 at the beginning of January. I guess that the larger 777 was necessary to facilitate the larger demand of the winter season - looking at JAL’s website the 787-9 seems to be on the schedule for this summer. The 787-9 cabin is identical to the 787-8 but features a slightly longer economy cabin.

@heronaddict2 Год назад

Great video, thank you. I have booked my 3rd trip to Japan, on this particular flight (JL42 ?) but not until Sept 2023 ! Your flight seemed to take a strange route into Haneda, coming in from south west direction. I thought they came straight across the country from north west. A great shame about the plastic cutlery though. Chopstick option even ? WI-FI thumbs up. Not too expensive. Thanks again.

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney Год назад

Glad you enjoyed! Due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict Japan Airlines could not fly over Russian airspace. Normally the flight would fly over Siberia but this time we came down through Mongolia, China and South Korea coming in from the due west.

@vinniechudam1835 6 месяцев назад

I've flown BA and ANA on the London-Tokyo route back when they operated the 747s and 777s. Both were fine. Would never consider flying BA on the Dreamliner. I've flown JAL a couple of times and they always impress. The JAL Dreamliner is unique in that the seat config in Economy is 2-4-2, every other carrier is 9 across. That alone makes JAL the best in the world on this specific aircraft type. Good food, good IFE, excellent seats and legroom. Winner in my book. Thank you for the review. Edit: Btw, I was in Tokyo 2 weeks ago and it was colder than London and snowing!

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney 6 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed the review! I flew on BA’s Dreamliner before covid when they used to fly their Narita to London route. It wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t terrible either - just doesn’t really stand out as much as JAL in both hard and soft product. I do agree with you that JAL just offers that just a little more extra space for you to spread out and have a rest on such a long flight. I’ve heard multiple remarks about BA’s 777/787 seats being uncomfortable - I can’t really compare this with JAL as it’s been ages since I flew with them on a long haul.

@pauldevenish 9 месяцев назад

Hello 👋 I really enjoyed the video. I am planning to head to Tokyo next year and I'm deciding whether to go with ANA or JAL. As a Virgin Atlantic customer I know the 787 pretty well and it seems to be the same Recaro seats on the JAL aircraft, agree flying longhaul on them is a mixture of comfort and discomfort - I did 12hrs to Las Vegas from London. It's nice to see though that the 777 is now replacing the 787, so that'll help with the ANA comparison. The food looks amazing and I'm always one for trying new foods. Again, thanks for the vlog and sharing your journey. Keep up the good work. Liked 👍 and subscribed 🔔!

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback! Having flown with both JAL and ANA I much prefer’s JAL’s seats (if I remember correctly ANA’s 777 seats don’t recline…) but I am more partial to ANA’s food.

BA are a great airline and one of the safest in the world too - you’re in very good hands. The 787-9 is a very stable aircraft in flight so after takeoff it’s as smooth as being on the ground. Takeoff may be a bit scary but it’s really nothing to worry about.

@JackBlack-ii1ip Год назад

Flew back to Tokyo from London yesterday (26/27 June) on JAL. Flew in on BA so an opportunity to compare. JAL was a marginally better service. It was a 14.5-hour flight over the pole. Was booked for the return on BA, but found out at the last minute that I'd been switched to JAL, which meant the flight departed London some four hours earlier as JAL/BA had doubled up. The downside was a 05.30 taxi to the Oxford bus station (would have been better taking the taxi directly to LHR). However, arriving Haneda at breakfast time was more convenient, so home to the Japan Alps before midday. Britisher pals, the comparison between Japanese/Caucasian BA female cabin staff is stark. Suggest you British men consider going international in your choice of partner/spouse, presupposing you're not gay. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney Год назад

It somewhat comes down to cultural expectations I guess. BA crew I’ve flown with seem more friendly and outgoing, and JAL crew more hospitable and professional (I don’t mind either.) It really boils down to the soft product for me - I’ve found JAL’s food to be considerably better (particularly on flights from Tokyo) and the cabin cleanliness to be excellent. Admittedly I haven’t flown long-haul on BA for almost 4 years now (my frequent flyer is with JAL) so it’d be interesting to see if they’ve improved since then - interesting to hear your opinions!

@kozamo9351 2 месяца назад

Jal or ana?

@ItsAllAboutTheJourney 11 месяцев назад

I travelled on ANA’s B777-300 economy class back in 2018. The seats were really quite uncomfortable and didn’t recline…I would go so far to say that the 1 hour long domestic flight I travelled on with them was more comfortable…To give ANA credit where it’s due though, their food was top notch. Their business class/first class offerings also seem to be much more up to date than JAL’s - but for the average economy traveller JAL is far superior.
