JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route


The good photos are here

Superlatives cannot describe the fine dining experience on board JAL. F
ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT

I
Oh and here’s the various bottles

Sake was perfect

Mori Izo is definitely an acquired taste
Kanehachi was delicious

So a question

Can anyone recall the lounge access for all PAX on JAL 41 to London from Tokyo ?

I remember seeing it on their website but can’t find it again ?

There is a special provision for all Y pax on this departure to access the Sakura Lounge after 11:30pm - but no showers.

Otherwise F pax can access the JL F lounge, J pax can go to either the JL Sakura or Sakura Sky View lounges. The CX lounge will close well before JL41 departs.
 
Hmm, found conflicting advice on the JL site. I think the below info is probably correct given it applies from 31 March 2024. Or maybe you can access both!

Additionally, anyone know if the Queen of Blue bottled tea is being served on SYD-HND?

Yep, it is always served in JL First. @CaptJCool also took a photo of it in their trip report.

Although i wonder if they have it spare in outposts like sydney. If not I wonder if its possible that the inbound people went nuts and drank it all with nothing left for the outbound return.

Or maybe they hide a bottle or two for the return journey regardless of demand for the inbound.

I expect this is the case, or they ship cartons of it to Sydney in advance. But I don't think JAL would be caught without any loaded.
 
Perhaps ominous signs but 27th October onwards F is no longer on sale and zeroed out on EF. Looks like SYD could be losing the 777 earlier than planned.
 
F0 A0 for 28 Oct - 29 Mar now... hopefully they don't proceed with a swap 🫣

I posted about this last week ... 30 Mar onwards is still on sale when I last checked, but yes, it's not promising for the northern winter.

Our F flight Hnd to Syd is Oct 23. Just checked with EF...still have our F seats. ...phew!

EF seat map hasn’t changed but flights are 0 and not on sale despite space.

I would suspect you will be downgraded in due course.

23 Oct is F6 A4, there doesn't appear to be any indication of a swap coming until northern winter schedule starts a few days after.

Sorry, yes, I misread your date. Last date I saw was October 27. So you definitely should be safe.
