    Japan Airlines B787 Economy Class: London to Tokyo | THE WORLD’S BEST ECONOMY CLASS?



    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.

    Enjoy the video 🙂

      When I went to turkey I flew with TUI and let me tell you it was the worst trip of my life the cabin crew was rude the ac was broken and we was delayed for 6 hours

      Thanks for the great video. For the first time I will be flying with JAL to HAN with a stop over in NRT in an economy class and I have a nagging lower back problem and I wanted to ask you how comfortable are they for lumber support? Thanks again.

      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.

      I live in San Diego and I have always flown JAL to Manila with a short layover in Narita. I love this airline with it’s impeccable service and good food.

      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.
