The appetizer was a bit strange (the anchovies were something new for me on a plane), but edible. They had no idea what a Negroni was, but after I explained it (twice) they found the ingredients and brought them over to make sure they were mixing them correctly (1/3 of each). The ladies were so great about mixing this up. Service began with a Negroni cocktail…I love that JAL had the ingredients (though I had to sub Vermouth for Cointreau). In fact, it was cooked an absolutely perfect medium rare (per my request)īut it was not just the main course that was excellent. I always consider ordering the Japanese menu for purposes of these reviews, but JAL does Western food better than most Western carriers, so I pre-ordered the filet mignon for dinner and it did not disappoint. This flight departs in the evening and I spent the majority of the flight sleeping, which is always the mission when in business class. First, the Apex Suites provide a tremendous amount of privacy and are quite comfortable. It was tough to choose business class when first class was also available, but I resisted the urge (and modest additional amount of miles) since I reviewed JAL first class last year (and hope to do so again on the A350-1000 if JAL ever starts releasing first class space again) and have never flown JAL business class in my life, let alone on the 777-300ER. I may have taken the 787-9 Dreamliner had it had the JAL Sky Suite III (reverse herringbone seats), but according to the seat map it had the same Sky Suite (Apex) seat I would have on the 777. I had the choice to fly the Boeing 787 Dreamliner or the 777-300ER to San Francisco (no mileage award space to Los Angeles, where I live) and chose the 777 for the convenience of Haneda Airport (especially in relation to where I stayed in Tokyo Bay) versus Narita Airport. JAL 777-300ER Business Class – My First Impressions But there were a couple aspects of the flight that drove me crazy. Overall, I give the flight high marks with particular praise for the food and service onboard. From Tokyo Haneda to San Francisco I gave JAL a try in business class for the very first time on a 777-300ER.
