Japan Airlines A350-1000 Business Class – The Middle Suite ⚠️



Japan Airlines A350-1000 Business Class – The Middle Suite ⚠️

Join me flying Japan Airlines (JAL) flagship A350-1000 from Tokyo to LA. Does their new Business Class suite resemble the future way of flying?

Starting my trip at Tokyo Haneda International Terminal. I visited the JAL First Class lounge before the flight. The large lounge spanned across two floors and had a great collection of JAL’s history, including historic photos and models. There is an excellent view of the tarmac from the lounge. A variety of food and beverages, including sushi and curry rice, are served on demand.

JAL’s A350-1000 has just 239 seats, offering four classes of seating. 6 First Class Suites, 54 Business Class Suites, 24 Premium Economy seats and 155 Economy class seats. I took a quick tour of the plane during boarding and was given a proper introduction of JAL’s new Business Class suite. My seat was in the middle, 14G.

After takeoff, I tried out the wireless headset with live TV and entertainment. The service started a bit slowly and took more than 3 hours to finish the dinner service. You can order food and drinks straight from the TV screen. The bed was long but a tad narrow for me. I didn’t sleep too well, and loud Hindi music playing across the cabin woke me up long before landing.

3 things I love about JAL A350-1000:

⁠✅⁠⁠A lot of Cool Tech
⁠✅⁠⁠ ⁠Excellent Privacy
✅⁠ Bed is long

3 things JAL can do better:

🔴⁠ More IFE choices
🔴⁠ ⁠Faster service
🔴⁠ ⁠PJs in Business Class

After landing, I headed to the APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) global expo in Long Beach, CA. I shared my vision of enhancing the passenger experience through a 10-point journey and presented some prestigious awards.

    Flew this last year and it's still my fav business class experience. Best middle suite to share with my husband. We flew Delta last month and we both got out own window seats cause the middle can't even compare/

    i like watching your content on youtube, but i have heard many of you that do these reviews about not having PJ's onboard, if they are a must for you then why do you not take your own, as PJ's have to be paid for and can cost an airline a lot of money over the year, and that only puts the cost of flying up,

    You should inform the stewardess to get the inconsiderate entitled passenger to not disturb other passengers from the country that cannot be named 10:52

    The true First World Problem Flex: being asked, "Would you like a hard mattress or soft mattress?" [10:21] JAL knows how to elevate those small, unique details. The wireless speaker that only the seat can hear [07:09] is also next-level subtle tech! But seriously, 3 hours for the main course on a 9-hour flight is tough! Great look at the A350-1000 product, Sam!

    13:38 Note many window shades are down at the time of landing, super surprising tbh especially for an airline like JAL where safety is an utmost priority. Any thoughts?
