JFK to Tokyo

JAL Sky Suite III on the 787-9 seat 11A, JFK to Tokyo, braised Wagyu at 35,000 feet, six and a half hours of actual sleep. ANA The Room has the better suite. JAL has the better flight. Here's why that difference matters before you spend 55,000 miles.

Six suites. Salon Champagne. A food program that ends with warm rice in green tea broth at 5 AM over the Pacific. JAL's A350 first class is not trying to impress but it already knows it does.
