Japan Airlines Business Class Flight Review – Vancouver to Tokyo
On our ✈ International Flights abroad a few seasons ago, we had the pleasure of flying with and in …
🌺 Japan Airlines Business Class 🌺
This certainly was a special treat for us, enjoying this rare luxurious type of air travel. As a retired blue collar employee, being able to afford such travel, is simply out of the question.
But having used frequent flyer credit cards for years, it makes flights like this, possible.
Below, is a look at our 🗾 Japan Airlines International Business Class 🗾 experience!
Air travel in style and luxury with JAL.
Japan Airlines (JAL) Vancouver to Tokyo
Business Class 767-300
The first leg of our journey had us departing from Vancouver, BC Canada (YVR) to Tokyo, Japan (NRT).
Our final destination flying with this airline would be Singapore.
Upon arriving at ✈ Vancouver International Airport, we made our way to the JAL check in counter.
Of course, there was a special line for Business Class passengers.
The Economy Class line was extremely long at this point and we just breezed right through. What a treat, compared to what we are normally used to, usually flying economy!
As an added note, we have had the pleasure of flying 💺 Premium Economy Class 💺 on a few flights over the years.
This class is definitely worth paying the extra money for on long haul flights, or even using your credit card bonus miles for.
Well worth it!
What I was also impressed with when checking in, is the agent handed us a neat little map showing us the way to their {Business Class Lounge}.
Our ticket agent was very courteous in telling us to; have a wonderful flight and to be sure to enjoy their lounge, before departure.
The Plaza Premium Lounge – Vancouver International Airport
Japan Airlines Business Class Passengers
Luckily, we cleared through airport security screening in no time.
As 🛂 NEXUS Customs Pre-Screening Card Holders, using their special security clearance line is great.
We then made our way to the {JAL Plaza Premium Lounge}.
I made sure to arrive at the airport well in advance, so we could enjoy this special treatment included with flying business class!
After being warmly greeted and checking in to the lounge, we found some comfortable seats to sit back and relax.
Time to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy their complimentary breakfast buffet!
What a nice selection of items to choose from in their buffet, making for a complete full breakfast!
Afterwards, I sampled some of their Specialty Local Craft Beer from the bar.
What a special way to start our long haul business class flight to Tokyo! 🙂
Japan Airlines Business Class Flight To Tokyo – Narita International Airport (NRT)
Our first flight would be about 10 hours and 30 minutes in length, and this was the first time I was actually looking forward to a long flight.
What a difference flying Business Class can make!
After arriving at the boarding gate and after pre-boarding announcements, we were one of the first to board the aircraft.
Our flight attendant greeted us at the door, and directed us to our reserved seats.
When you arrive at your seat, you will find …
Pillow, Blanket, Slippers, Noise Cancelling Headphones, Vanity Kit, Bottled Water and In Flight Menu
Our seat could fully recline to a bed by remote control.
We also had our own large television screen for viewing.
After 🛫 take off, we were introduced and warmly greeted by our flight attendant.
Even the flight’s senior attendant on board came by to say hi and introduce herself.
We were then asked if we would like a beverage along with a snack to start off.
Not going to say no to that, on this flight! 🙂
Taking Off From Vancouver International Airport
We were wined, dined and offered snacks at any time we wished throughout the flight.
You definitely do not go hungry flying with Japan Airlines.
For main meals, you have a choice of choosing from their Japanese or Western Menu.
Below, is a sample of what our gourmet menu choices were, flying Japan Airlines Business Class.

Our flight attendants could not have done enough for you during the entire length of the flight.
Business Class …. “The Only Way To Fly!”
Japan Airlines Business Class Flight – Tokyo to Singapore 777- 200
Flight To Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
We arrived in Tokyo at about 4:30pm local time. Our next flight on to Singapore departed at 6:00pm.
So unfortunately, we didn’t get the opportunity to experience {JAL’s Business Class Lounge} in Tokyo, because of our short layover.
Arriving in Tokyo, we slowly made our way to our next departure gate. The gate where we were departing to was under construction at the time.
So not much to see other than watch some – Sumo Wrestling on television at our boarding gate. 🙂
Review – JAL Business Class – Tokyo to Singapore
With priority boarding, once again we were warmly greeted by staff at the departure gate and upon boarding the aircraft.
We were directed to our seats and immediately noticed a big difference in the size of the seat from the previous flight.
This plane definitely looked much newer than the previous, with much wider and more comfortable seats.
On this flight, our seats were in the middle and beside one another.
The seats were also angled inward, giving much more privacy from the first flight we were on. Again, waiting for us on our seat, were the same amenities as before.
Pillow, Blanket, Slippers, Noise Cancelling Headphones, Vanity Kit, Bottled Water and In Flight Menu
Once settled in and airborne for this roughly 6 hour flight, again we were greeted by our flight attendant, offered a cocktail and a snack to start off.
The senior flight attendant also came by to introduce herself to us.
This made you really feel special and almost VIP like. 🙂
Dinner was served very shortly after takeoff and after enjoying our Happy Hour Cocktail, because of the later time of day.
Once again, the menu gave you a choice of Japanese or Western entrees to choose from.
Dinner On Board JAL Flight From Tokyo to Singapore
Starter – Western Menu
Spinach & Bacon Quiche | Sour Cream Chicken & Celery Salad | Truffle Croquette | Broccoli & Cauliflower dressed with Light Brown Miso Sauce

Roasted “Wagyu” Beef Sirloin or Olive Flounder, Common Orient Clam
Special Bread from MAISON KAYSER – Petite Riviera | Apple & Sweet Potato Bread
Dessert

As well, select wines from around the world were offered, as well as spirits and specialty beers.
A variety of non-alcoholic beverages are also available to choose from.
Another fabulous meal on board this flight, with outstanding service throughout.
After our meal and the long day we’ve had, it was time to sit back, relax and watch a movie.
Afterwards, we went into full recline mode for a nice nap before arriving in Tokyo.
Wow, was it ever nice to lay flat and have a restful nap on a flight.
Something we had never experienced before!
On our arrival to Singapore, our 🧳 baggage was delivered to the carousel before economy class baggage, as expected.
Both flights were on time, and smooth all the way!

2 Excellent flight experiences with Japan Airlines Business Class. I can’t imagine what {First Class} would be like after this.
