JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

[sudoer]

Keep an eye on it and set up an EF aircraft swap alert if you can - it wouldn't surprise me if it changes to a 777 later.

It appears the aircraft switcheroo has happened

777 scheduled and F awards wide open Oct 2024 - Mar 2025

F0 A0 for 28 Oct - 29 Mar now... hopefully they don't proceed with a swap

I head Orf later this morning 8.15
Looks the 777 rolls into Sydney at 6am!

Looking forward to F Troop to Tokyo

Also would you mind confirming if Mori Izo is available from JAL inflight shopping, what the variety is, and what the price is?

Thank you! How's the flight so far? Can we all fly vicariously with you today?

That bottles like A$33!

I will sample it onboard
However usually don’t duty free
And I’m not returning to Australia til mid September so would only purchase it on the flight back to Sydney
I would offer to acquire one on your behalf - best you DM me if that is of interest for you

Indeed, JAL has a longstanding agreement with Mori Izo and inflight shopping is the cheapest place you can reliably acquire it.

Street price in Japan is around $120-130: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Izo-Mori-24-3-720-Box/dp/B0CHJNRKKH/

In Australia it is very difficult to find, but when available goes for around $250: https://justliquor.com.au/shochu/1838-mori-izo-shochu-720ml.html

There is even a second hand market for it - pawn shops like Daikokuya will purchase the bottle off you for 6500 yen netting you an easy $30 profit

Thank you for the offer but I have a couple of JL F flights coming up myself and will pick some up on those!

Then I’ll grab one for my Sydney based mate!

Now there is a little hack for accessing the onboard wifi as the browser didn’t pop

Nice! Do you know if they're serving Salon on board the route, and are amenity kits/pajamas provided?

Already booked my return flight for next year, looking forward to checking JL F off my bucket list.

Salon is only outbound from Japan


Otherwise it’s Billecart Salmon Cuvée Louis Salmon 2009 very pleasant

Or Charles Heidsieck vintage 2013

Yes to the amenity kit (not opened yet)

PJs none sighted
Slippers and a small shoehorn YES

 

[sudoer]

The JAL site suggests PJs are available in First and doesn't mention any exclusions for daytime flights - might need to ask for them though.

You can keep these, unlike the cardigans in JAL Business.

They offer loungewear in J? Took a red-eye SIN-HND flight last year and didn't see any. o.o
