I didn’t know they have a terminal to order food, granted the only fancy international flights I’ve done are Singapore Airline 1st class, Delta One and Korean Air business class
I really appreciate that you showed the middle seat. The other flight reviews I've watched always stick in their own window or aisle seat. I'm going to be in the middle seat on my flight home and it was nice to get a little preview of what it will be like.
I LOVED your presentation. Tell Sebby that you are especially awesome and the staffs loved interacting with you. So you keep using that call button girl! Sebby is just jealous of your supreme awesomeness.
I really liked this vid, the best part is Sebby in the background being random. Any chance of a breakdown on how you used points to book this trip? I'm planning on using points to fly my wife and kids to Japan in the next year or so and want to go business class.
🍹 I know you typically fly delta when it comes to domestic airlines, but have you flown the United 777 in Polaris business class? If so, would you fly it again?
I wasn't aware that online menus were available? considering the relatively small numbers in business class I think its just as easy to ask one of the stewards as they are always walking around? well thats on Singapore Airlines anyway.
Interesting review! I agree with you about storage for the seat. I think I would feel claustrophobic in the window seat with no window along the center of the wall. How does JAL compare to the Delta One service you took last year to Japan, I think. Looking forward to skiing and hotel tour video. Have fun!
Do you know if the bulkhead seats in business have the same set up as any business class seat ie specifically the viewing screen also part of the cubicle and not on the bulkhead wall? Would you recommend the bulkhead in business on this plane ?
Great video Mandy. are you and Sebastian dubious about the new metal Ritz’ being the same as the originals, and importantly, its ability to chop vegetables?
Unfortunately it's not the same as the original. It's similar to the Amex Platinum (18g)now, so in between the weights of the original RC card(20g+) and the outgoing one (13g).
For flights departing from the US to Japan, it's always a struggle for Japanese airlines to match the quality expected by Japanese passengers. Japanese expats and visitors tend to lower expectations because the food is made in the US. Even US airlines have better food for flights returning from Japan because they use Japanese catering services.
Also, how did you like Business Class relative to First Class for JAL Boeing 777? Worth waiting for a first class seat and spending the extra points in your opinion?
🍹 Sebby always wears the same black shirt in every video even if he’s not supposed to be in them lol. I’ll be flying HND to SFO in March and I believe it’s the same plane configuration. It’ll be my first time on business class so it looks like overall it will be great experience. Do you normally skip alcoholic beverages? I’m allergic so it’s non alcoholic the entire way.
Haha, black shirts are his uniform. One less decision. Non-alcoholic this time since we were landing in Tokyo in the afternoon, and had some meetings setup. Can't be running around or on video with an Asian glow!
I hope you’re taking JAL just for a review, ANA has a lot better business product, from LAX or SFO, 121 configuration, I fly to Vietnam, as well as Thailand, three or four times a year, sorry, but I couldn’t do it on JAL 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
That’s too bad. I got it for $5k from SFO. Booked a separate flight using miles to get to SFO from PHX since airline wanted to charge $2k more just to go from PHX to SFO to HND on one ticket rather than two.
fancy - glad i get to live vicariously through these vids
Hii Shervin!! :)
Excellent review. Thankyou.

Glad I'm not the only one! :)
You've been flying the the wrong airlines obviously if you think terminal's choose the food LolLol
Sebby chillin in the background is my favorite 😂
Dope!! I love JAL, but I haven’t done their business class yet. Thanks for the video, Mandy. Enjoy your ski trip ⛷️
Sebby Photobombing is hilarious 😂
Thanks! :)

Thank you two for sharing your trip.😊

Thanks for watching! :)

Used Alaska miles to book the trip. JAL business class (old product) is usually wide open. First is harder to find.
Love the review. JAL business class is a cozy setup!
Very nice. Have fun you two and keep up the good work with your videos. ✌️👍🏿
I just love your reviews! Sebby is soo funny interrupting you while you vlog!😁🍹
Excellent efficient presentation that covered the key areas.
Very entertaining and informative. Thank you.
In flight ramen will always be my favorite meal 🧉
Same 😋
I enjoyed my flights on JAL Business Class, will travel with them again to Bangkok.

Haven't flown Polaris yet. Never got upgraded when we had United status :(

Love watching you both with your humour!
Always love the details you provide in your reviews. I may or may not have said “grape juice” out loud when you ordered the non-alcoholic wine. 😂
😆
I Love The Japanese Cuisine Aboard.Great Trip Report
How much did you pay to fly Japan airlines? I know you use points to book your flights.
Thanks for the in depth video. Strange that food can be bad. Japanese food isn't difficult to be great
Might be a one off situation where they overcooked the chicken. It was extremely dry.
Can't wait for this exact flight in may... now I need to go check my seat I picked.
Enjoy!

@@gonzalesg0221aw. My favorite video was Sebby deciding to randomly chop vegetables with his cards and I was hoping it’d come back.
How did you book through points

Love the vid. I would keep the partition up the whole time. My husband and I don't talk during flights. Seb is distracting 😊
I tried to keep the partition up, but Seb kept taking it down lol.
Do you get to keep the amenities kit?
Yes!
How much points?
Also, how did you like Business Class relative to First Class for JAL Boeing 777? Worth waiting for a first class seat and spending the extra points in your opinion?
Worth trying first class at least once!
Great video, Mandy! Sebby messing around in the background kept me laughing throughout
Glad you enjoyed! :)
how was the cabin temperature?
It was fine, not cold.
🍹- Great video...
Love it, are you using a DJI Osmo 3? The quality is great.
Yup!

I enjoyed your honest review
🍹We're flying business class with JAL later this year! Will let you know :)
Have fun!
Fantastic show! What brand is your rucksack please?

hi Mandy, comparing this to your ANA business class flight back from HND to SFO... which is better in terms of seat and meals? thanks
I like JAL more, but definitely try to fly one of the new products if you can!
How would this compare to the old ANA business?
Did you ever realize the partition between the seats has electric motor control buttons?
Yes
I hope you’re taking JAL just for a review, ANA has a lot better business product, from LAX or SFO, 121 configuration, I fly to Vietnam, as well as Thailand, three or four times a year, sorry, but I couldn’t do it on JAL 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
I order in person lol don’t feel bad 😊
Haha, glad I'm not alone! 😅
@@MandyRoams btw I love your vlogs
🍹 Nice job on the review Mandy. Wait, what was Sebby even filming and reviewing back there?
His version on Sebby Fung: ua-cam.com/video/wiNrayUo-co/v-deo.html
2+3+2 looks like lot less room than 1+2+1 config that I used to fly before covid.
Why didn't you use try using the controller for the divider instead of manually pulling it up?? LOL
Seat number?
Looking at flights from Boston to Tokyo, business class is $20,600 round trip for two people. *cries in poor*
That’s too bad. I got it for $5k from SFO. Booked a separate flight using miles to get to SFO from PHX since airline wanted to charge $2k more just to go from PHX to SFO to HND on one ticket rather than two.
🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹 Did they have hibiki on the flight ?
No :( Mystery whiskey
Chivas Regal
Jack Daniel's Black
Today’s Japanese Whisky
@@MandyRoams booo, time to open up sebs hibiki 17 and we drink it back it in SF =p
@MandyRoams Could you make another what's in my wallet. Credit card video, for 2024?
Just flew this a couple of days ago. No Hibiki, but Yamazaki was the "Today's Japanese Whiskey"
🍹🍹🍹
Sebby always eating 😮😂
Lmao. Sebby makes sure ppl know he's with you
🍷
Ana seating looks better.
I don't like it to ride on 'Boeing Jets Type'. Be careful what you wish for.
Non alcoholic wine? Are you preggo?
2-2-2 seat design on business class not pretty good
Yep! Definitely showing it's age vs. the more common 1-2-1 nowadays!
