"Phantom Champagne" special feature on 1A seats on the clouds, JAL First Class London (3)

This feature is a mileage award ticket that boards the Haneda -London line first class of Japan Airlines (JAL/JL, 9201).Last year, when I first boarded the first class using award ticket, I used JL45 flights from JAL to Paris.This time, we chose JL43 flights from Haneda to London to cover the Fan Bowl Aviation Show in early July in the suburbs of London.

Last year, I was able to get a first -class ticket only on the outbound route, but this time I was able to exchange the return trip.Now you can compare the service of flights from Japan to overseas departure.The first feature of this special feature was to acquire award tickets with miles, and the second time is the problem of Haneda's first class lounge and terminal.

And this time, the third special feature, I finally reached the in -flight edition to London.Now that competition between airlines is intensifying beyond the country, what kind of services are waiting for JAL's first class, which is one of the highest peaks by Japanese airlines?

Get 1A seats

Many of the first class on international flights will have the image of exhausting.Certainly, if you look at overseas airlines, there are places where luxury cars are laid down on the aircraft, and the first -class passengers guide them on a separate line.However, in Japan, such services have not been realized due to regulations in the airport.

Flexible operation, such as having no first -class lane at the Haneda's security checkpoint that I mentioned last time, and temporarily using "crurain" used by pilots and flight attendants as a dedicated lane, Tokyo International Company Tokyo International Company.There are various circumstances, such as not being able to expect the airport terminal (TIAT), and cannot provide the services that airlines aim for.

However, in the cabin, the airline can launch each color.On the other hand, the full flat seat, which is once sold by First Class, is equipped in business classes in many airlines.What kind of service can you receive in the first class of JAL?

The first class for me for the first time in a year for me.This time, I was able to take 1A seats on the front row window on the left side of the direction of travel.Perhaps because of the left -handed person, the seat on the right side calms down, but it is difficult to visit the first class with a unique atmosphere in the first class.

Last year, when it was my first first class experience, I stayed on the plane for a while, but this time I knew it was as if I had returned to the cabin.

One of the reasons for the feeling that the first class was in charge of the first class crew members who used to be in the first class.The area in charge was not around my seat, but I took care of it.Four years have passed since the launch of 2012, and more people who have responded to interviews have been increasingly met at airports and on board.It was an event that I realized again.

"1 -chome first place" that does not feel narrow in the cabin

Sit in the 1A seat closest to the entrance.I had the opportunity to sit down several times on the domestic flight, but I felt a different atmosphere.After all, the first place of airplane flying on international flights was a unique one that was hard to express in words.

The equipment with first class operated by JAL on an international flight is the Sky Sweet 777 Boeing 777-300ER.The registration number of the equipment I got on this time was JA738J.Of the 244 seats, the first is about eight seats, about one -sixth, compared to the 49 business business.

The seat has room for three windows per person.Because the number of seats is small and the individual space is large, it can be raised and descended without being cramped when putting a camera bag on the baggage storage shelf overhead.A space that does not feel like being in such a narrow cabin is one of the benefits of the first class.

The sequence of the sheet incorporating the woodgrain design is 4 seats per row of 1 seat-2 seats-1 seat, and the bed length is about 199..The size is 4cm and the bed width is about 84cm, the world's largest size, and the individual monitor is 23 inches.

There are spaces where small items such as iPhone, laptops, and compact digital cameras are all over the place.Last time I was surprised at the large amount of storage space, but for the second time, I came to think of the one that was easy to use.

Because there are space here and there, small items at hand are used immediately like iPhone or digital cameras, and if you connect it to an outlet once like a laptop computer, you can leave it until you arrive.It can be used properly with the location.

In recent business classes, such storage space has been devised.However, physically wide first allows you to make a layout that makes you easier to use.

3 cups of "phantom champagne" before meals

After 11:30 am, the door closed.After a while after the toger pushes out the aircraft, GE GE90-115B, the second engine made on the right side, starts.

The world's largest fan blade begins to turn around with the roaring sound.When you are interviewing at the airport, you can see the engine start even if you can not see the aircraft, so you can see the unique sound.When I hear this sound, I am impressed by the high reliability of the large -scale large aircraft, saying, "This huge engine will continue to spin without stopping for more than 10 hours."

Then take off Haneda after 11:50 am.When you enter a horizontal flight, the drink service starts.One of JAL's first -class selling is the Salon Salon's champagne salon, champagne salon, also known as the "phantom champagne."

The salon provided last time was in 2002, but this time it was 2004.It has a good taste but has a solid taste, so I want to ask for a substitute immediately.The last time I drank three salons before the meal was finished, but this time I reached the third cup before the meal was brought.

As expected, it is a phantom champagne.Looking at the blue sky from the window, when you look at the glass where the bubbles float slightly, you realize that you were in an elegant first class.Every night, I fell asleep while writing a manuscript, and the manuscript that I should have finished in my dream is a space that is not completed at all when I wake up in the morning.

In -flight meals are the pace distribution of the lounge

Speaking of international flights, it is still in -flight meal.The first class can be selected for Japanese and Western food.This time, I stayed in Japan for about a week and stayed in the UK, so I chose a Japanese food supervised by Seiji Yamamoto from Roppongi, Tokyo, "Japanese Cuisine Ryu Gin".

Seasonal small dishes, bowls, seafood, table, rice, fast bowls, sweetness, and 7 types of dishes, the main dish is "thick sliced Japanese beef fillet and Kamo eggplant.Sukiyaki summer tailoring.Last time, the lounge was close to full, and when the main main appeared, I was hungry, and it was quite difficult to flatten one dish even if it was delicious.

However, this time, I stayed at a hotel in the airport due to interviews at midnight the day before, and spent the lounge early in the morning, so I was able to enjoy the lounge and in -flight meals with plenty of time.

When it comes to Japanese food, I always imagine the main course of fish, but eating Japanese beef fin meat is a nice menu for meat lovers.And it was exceptional to eat freshly cooked white rice on board with crepe pepper.Because the egg was attached, the fillet was also enjoyed while changing the taste.

I drank three cups of salon before meals, so I started with sake.He drinks two cups of Junmai Daiginjo in "Hiroki" (Hiroki Sake Brewery, Fukushima Prefecture), and continued with his land of Junmai Daiginjo in "Brewing Kuheiji" (Aichi Prefecture, Managi Brewery).。

The highly popular for women was easy to drink, and the brewed people Kuheiji had a richer taste that alcohol lovers prefer.He drank three cups of sake, and one cup of white wine in the Bulgonyu region, "Chasshane Monsrascher Premier Premier, Le Machurer 2012".It was a wine that fits the main fillet because it also fits the meat with less fat.

The course of Roppongi Purin, which I was looking forward to this time, was tasted, and the course of about 2 hours was over.I was able to complete the breakfast in the lounge, lunch on board, and the pace allocation.

After this, I enjoyed bread served at Western food and macaroons of "Jean Paul Evan" with coffee.Coffee was a sandwash for about 2 minutes before drinking, and I drank two cups without spending time because of the ease of drinking.

Bedding and amenity that have changed since last year

Taking advantage of the last lesson, we eat a Japanese course.After doing a job that was not completed at the airport, I asked the flight attendant to have a bed prepared while going to the bathroom.

Until now, the bedding was made by Tempur, but this time it has changed to airweave as well as business class.The pillows were feathers, so we had both.The mattress was a first class with a different hardness on the front and back, and chose hard.

By the way, the amenity was also collaborated with the Spanish luxury brand "Loewe" last time, but this time it has changed to the same as the business class "Zerohari Burton".These two were not the good or bad of things, but what I felt in common with business classes, but frankly.

Actually, I thought that I would get Loewe's amenities this time, so I gave it to Loewe lovers who usually take care of me in the interview.It's better than keeping it in my hand without using it.

Bed width that is easy to turn over

So what about the essential bed comfort?After all, the size of the bed is different compared to business classes.JAL's business has a bed width of about 65cm and is 20cm narrower than the first.The length is close to 2m, while the business is less than 190cm.In particular, I felt that the width of the bed led to the difference in sleep, such as ease of turning over.

When I was experiencing the size of the bed, I also helped to consume a lot of alcohol and fell asleep for about 2 hours.Isn't it a first -class advantage to sleep without feeling cramped despite the cabin?Certainly, business class is a full flat seat, but it is somewhat cramped when compared to the first.

Even if I woke up from sleep, my appetite did not decline this time.After finishing eating soy sauce ramen in the ラ la carte menu with Coca -Cola, she arrived at Heathrow Airport in London without eating a meal before arrival, including vanilla ice and coffee, beef curry, dessert plates and coffee.

Spacious space, generous response

Heathrow is always crowded and turned over London for a while and landed.About 12 and a half hours have passed since departure.

What impressed me on the first -class journey was the response of the cabin crew who could see the services I wanted.He never pushed the service, and he made a request to drink something and want to work with this vessel.

Even though it is 8 seats, it is a full class full of seats, and it is reluctant to ask for this from here.However, if the flight crew can speak a word, it is easy to ask for something.Not only spaces and hardware, including spacious seats, but also spacious response is unique to first class.

Next time is the first class from London, the biggest purpose of this time.How is lounge and in -flight meals that can be used for overseas flights different from Japanese flights?
