Happy to see a new refurbished First Class.  Gone are the yellows and brown and the bus-like schedule holder on the bulhead at the front of the cabin.
 

 

Since JAL didn't want to pay Illinois taxes on alcohol served on the ground, our pre-departure champagne was no name champagne as it was pour from galley. 

Colorful amenity kit...

... with some nice Shiseido takeaways.

I still don't get the BEDD thing.  Somethings just don't translate.  At least F pax get complimentary WiFi although cumbersome to set up.

Lovely champagne selection with today's ex-US flight being Cristal.

But dreadful wine list.  Looks like I'll be sticking to champagne.

In the air, the good stuff!

But sadly, JAL only loads ONE BOTTLE PER FLIGHT.   Say what?  And you are SOL if everyone wants champagne like today.

Showtime, JAL style.

Today, I'm going with the Japanese menu which was excellent.

Once the SINGLE BOTTLE OF CRISTAL was gone, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the back-up was the lovely Taittenger Comte de Champagne which Air France recenelt served as their inflight La Première offering.

OK, if you insist.  LOL.

After that fabulous Japanese meal, I moved over to my cross aisle bed for a solid 5 hours of sleep.

After a good sleep, delicious meal #2 a few hours out from Narita.

A lovely 12 hours flight with wonderful service by an excellent JAL crew.

A couple more Instagram videos of my day with JAL.
