JAL upgrades in-flight services, equipment to woo foreign fliers
Japan Airlines is accelerating efforts to upgrade its in-flight services, as well as equipment used on medium-haul international flights. The carrier is particularly focusing on routes to Hawaii and Southeast Asia, because of the increasing number of international tourists traveling on these routes. The airline’s refurbished fleet of 11 Boeing 777-200ER aircraft — dubbed “JAL Sky Suite” — began flying in July last year. The refurbished planes now include fully reclining seats with direct access to aisles in business class. In economy class, the seating configuration has been changed from the standard 3-3-3 to 3-4-2, making it possible for the airline to better accommodate certain passengers, such as families. Additionally, fliers in economy class will now benefit from a bit more leg room, with up to 10 centimetres of extra space. <br/>
