I've flown JAL to Europe from Sydney many times in premium economy and it is amazing. The perk of lounge access cannot be ignored. Crew are so friendly and efficient. I remember one flight where I fell asleep before the meal service. Not long after I woke up, a crew member came to me and said "I saved your meal, would you like it now?" This is the difference between just doing what is required and going above and beyond!
Seeing you eat Rice AND Chips reminded me of college days in Cardiff, where 'Half and Half' was the term used in fish and chip shops, when you would have a half-portion of each - though, it seems, you had a FULL portion of each .... despite eating "small"!🤣🤣Also, 'I hear the sound of business-class cutlery' is one of the saddest lines ever written !
Looks like an iterative improvement over the older premium econ they used to fly. Excellent. It's good to see JAL still have some of the best legroom of any airline. Back in ~2016 they would sell upgrades from economy to PE for ~US$300 on the Jakarta-Tokyo flights at check in. A good deal if it was available.
A great trip report. An excellent seat with lots of space and the so important chair in front that doesn't recline in your space!!! One question.....how do you eat so much???. Thank you for your time doing what you do.
I liked the comment in the lounge ‘I’ll eat light’ then had two full meals and a bowl of chips before the aircraft in flight meal 😂 but if it’s included then why not !
A great seat, and their meal for Premium Economy was okay. I'm not surprised you had so much food before taking off; you wouldn't have survived the trip without it. Hee-hee, the TH-camr with "Two Hollow Legs."
Great flight, your flght time departure and flight time duration is same as Majority Ferry Trip in Seto Inland Sea. Bit curious, what flight you take from Tokyo to Singapore? Sadly, you got seat at Middle left Aisle, bit far from Window.
heyyy STJ! Hope u've had a nice time in Singapore. We were in Japan for 2 weeks and I kept thinking of the things u recommended ... just wanna say thanks! :) because of u and ur vids, we've had a great time in Japan :)
Thanks for sharing. I'm looking to travel international, but business class is too expensive for me, and the idea of spending that much time in coach is unappealing. This product really seems like a viable option for me. Much appreciated.
We are flying to Haneda next week with the very same flight, but in Economy! It’s so spacious and comfortable that we would love to fly by JAL to Japan from now on.👍 SQ Dreamliner is in 3.3.3 configuration! Not good.👎
I love barramundi as I don't really like fishy fish, I'm so glad you were able to try one of Australia's favourite fish! Thankyou for always travelling and eating 🤘🇦🇺💝🇯🇵🤘
IMHO the best perks in this premium are: 1)the sliding seats (not reclining) 2)the small privacy barrier at face height Those two features alone add A LOT of privacy and comfort, making a real "premium feeling"!
I guess the fact it was a night flight means the lack of window seat didn’t matter so much. And you got to drive the plane at 11:18 which was a nice bonus.
Took this flight a couple of times when traveling from Singapore back to the U.S. Allowed us to have a pretty full day in Tokyo before the flight back home. As to the PE seats, they’re great. Even I, at 6’2” tall, have enough leg room. Also like the fact that they seats recline in a shell, so you don’t have to worry about invading some else’s space. My only nit in PE is the catering. I found it lacking on JAL’s economy and PE classes. Our flight from HND to the U.S. had two meals, the first being typical economy fare. The second could best be described as some kind of sustainable mystery noodles that were horrible. ANA’s catering in Economy and PE is much better. Oddly, I also think JAL’s catering is better in business than ANA.
Hmm, not all 787 routes get Premium Economy; 787-8s only have Business and Economy. Am rather 50-50 on the value proposition though - the hard product seems really good, but the soft product offering falls kind of short.

bagi saya penerbangan jepun walaupun di asia tenggara boleh dikatakan paling mahal dan juga bagus tapi ada ja benda yang bagus pada harga yang lebih murah jadi bagi saya memang mahal jika ditukar ke usd ,bagi mereka ia tak mahal ,tapi kalau matawang di asia ia sangat mahal bahkan menandingi kemahalan eropah
So now you know that unless it is priced at less than 1.5x economy its simply not worth it. Better to save and buy business class when priced 2-2.5x economy.

‘Says not hungry and won’t order much’ in lounge.
I then watch several dishes served and eaten. Hate to see ‘am hungry’ 🤣🤣
11:20 The fact that you have new balance shoes makes me feel like im watching takumi drive through akina all over again xd
Imagine if the lounge PA speakers suddenly blasted out: "SUNFLOWER!!! SUNFLOWER!!! Taiyo ni mamorarete!" 😹✌️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
are you from Altona MB? :)
Omg I’d just DIE!!
I enjoyed watching your flight report 🎉
Very spacious seating! I'm glad you're back in Japan so you can book your next ferry trip !!!!!😁
The seats and the area around looked very spacious I love you sense of humour that you and your green curry. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed your channel so far; welcome to Singapore!

Half & Half’s were everything after a good night out!

I was mentally preparing to translate “fries” to “chips” before the subtitle came up but was pleasantly surprised!

Nice flight. You got noodles and a blanketo and even some air.
That was a really nice seat!
If I ever manage to go to Japan, flying with Jal sounds like an amazing option
Looks roomy and comfortable - nice relaxing seat. wish they had that on JAL when I used to fly to Japan on business in economy from London
Nice review mate, looks like a really good premium economy product and having lounge access is a great bonus!
The flight attendant asked IF you wanted noodles? She doesn't know you like we do. 😁
Hahahahah
A great trip report. An excellent seat with lots of space and the so important chair in front that doesn't recline in your space!!!
One question.....how do you eat so much???.
Thank you for your time doing what you do.

Biggest eater of all my subs. But it’s why I watch him!! LOL
Hello from Singapore! Hope you had a good trip here :) I wonder if you tried any Singaporean food?
Well I'm convinced! This looks like a really nice compromise option.
Great flight, your flght time departure and flight time duration is same as Majority Ferry Trip in Seto Inland Sea. Bit curious, what flight you take from Tokyo to Singapore? Sadly, you got seat at Middle left Aisle, bit far from Window.
sg follower here ! hope you enjoyed your stay in singapore haha
Nice video, thank you!! Really want to fly JAL soon
heyyy STJ! Hope u've had a nice time in Singapore. We were in Japan for 2 weeks and I kept thinking of the things u recommended ... just wanna say thanks! :) because of u and ur vids, we've had a great time in Japan :)
Excellent descriptive video
Well, STJ, you really took one for the team, sampling all that food and wine. First prize goes to you on JAL.👵🏴🌹🌹💗💗
Oh, you visited Singapore, hope you enjoyed your stay there 😊😊😊
Racer STJ-san! With that heel and toe action!
We know better than to know when you say “I’m just looking” you’re actually plotting your next yummy experience

ハク曰く、クアンタスラウンジはプレミアムエコノミーとは関係ないので「ライトを食べるよ！！」そして、飛行機に乗る前に、手始めに、1つではなく2つの完全な食事と白ワインを2杯注文しました。ハクは空いたお腹を満たすために一日中絶食しました。私たちはこれを「シェイク、ガラガラ、ロールランディング」と呼んでいます。

Solo san travels to so many places that I wish I was him :D
How's the legrest in this class? Do you think on a longer flight you might have been able to sleep with that? 🤔 Thanks for the video as always!
Hello my dear friend sensational much love have be safe have fun ❤
That off-center foot rest was too funny.
I love barramundi as I don't really like fishy fish, I'm so glad you were able to try one of Australia's favourite fish! Thankyou for always travelling and eating 🤘🇦🇺💝🇯🇵🤘

Wow when did you come to Singapore?..i hope u had a good time (: hmm a very smooth flight👍👏..looking forward to more videos
また楽しいビデオをありがとう!👍

I guess the fact it was a night flight means the lack of window seat didn’t matter so much. And you got to drive the plane at 11:18 which was a nice bonus.
LOVE the Initial D reference!
Not bad. I’ll book on my next flight to Tokyo from Merca.
That s a decent space for a sky flight seating, less shoulb be criminalized.
Took this flight a couple of times when traveling from Singapore back to the U.S. Allowed us to have a pretty full day in Tokyo before the flight back home.
As to the PE seats, they’re great. Even I, at 6’2” tall, have enough leg room. Also like the fact that they seats recline in a shell, so you don’t have to worry about invading some else’s space.

I always thought that large compartment above the heads of the Premium passengers
was the compartment for the Premium Economy passengers.
Safran Airgo fx premium economy seats are my favourite product an airline offers.
So desu ka! Nippon koku has good legroom! But next time, Solo-san, try SIA! 😄
3:02 A month's worth of spinach?! Well, for me a year's worth of spinach! 🤪
Any Singapore videos? xD
How could you be hungry after the 2 lounge meals?
Do all JAL premium economy seats offer lounge access? I am flying from NGO
Hungry hungry Solo-San, flying through the sky!
Really nice airline🎉
I would’ve been full from the chicken, fish, rice and fries meal. Wow!
Seems JAL really loves to offer their ramen selection on board for some reason. I wonder why...
The seat was really nice
Your idea of "small" and my idea regarding meals are totally different. The grilled chicken, etc, would have lasted me a long time.
Changi Airport is basically one big lounge, with so much to see, do, and eat that one doesn't need to use an airline lounge there.
Yep I agree, it's not just a gateway to Singapore but one of its largest tourist attraction.
@@michaelkevinmirasol8256 Exactly.
This video was very relaxing. Thank you
Nice journey.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you for the video that turbulence got to me laugh out loud
I can't read the word Barramundi without hearing in in full ausie accent in my head, hahahaha
Premium economy also entitled to lounge access?
Doesn't JL36 depart at 10.25pm?
Did solo-san eat two months worth of spinach instead of one then ,this is the burning question .?
Hmm, not all 787 routes get Premium Economy; 787-8s only have Business and Economy. Am rather 50-50 on the value proposition though - the hard product seems really good, but the soft product offering falls kind of short.
Amazing trip
Well hello to All and i must say that i am not rhe first to leave a comment
Wow…..you eat quite a bit eh?…..good for you..👏👏
Hello sinh chào anh hay quá chịa sẽ với video này nhé 🙏🙌🥰
JAL is definitely one of the world's best ! Love JAL ! However, the food in the Quantas lounge is pretty normal (nothing fantastic).
Women's bath on the other side
Lmao! Took me a second there! Happy holidays 💚🙏🕊
😁😁😁
Nice
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need to be careful with your remarks. I just sprayed my surrounds with a mouthful of miso soup.
11:20 *Eurobeat intensifies*
doesn't the foot rest slide to the center?
Thanks
Thanks again for the super!
Okay....I'll say it now and speak it into existence. We need a Solo/Dancing Bacons collaboration.

Eating small definitely means different things to different people
Solo San ate his annual allotment of spinach in the first meal
Very little is certain in Japan, but if Solo San is "just looking" at a menu, it is certain that there will be food consumed.

I am starting to get the clue that if I am traveling anywhere near Japan, to take a Japanese carrier because it will just be better.
seemed like a very smooth flight, Japans transport is exceptional, puts all others to shame
Eva is also good .
we love EVA as well @@jimshelley8831
1.5k for a premium Seat on midhaul for one flight. R they insane. Even better Airlines like Qatar are less expensive.
I'll eat light - proceeds to eat two meal 😂
might i be first?
Solo you came to Singapore and I didn’t know😢
Flying JAL Premium Economy from SE Asia to Tokyo then onto the USA, next week. 6 hours one route and 11 the other.
I took the premium economy last month, but they didn't offer me the champagne and cup noodle 😂
❤
JAL looks to be a billion times better than any US carrier.
Woah, that was scary. Thank you for sharing about JAL Premium Economy - which means to have a better meal before you board.
日本の規律ある社会、文化、ナショナリズム、清潔さ、忠実さ、教育、豊かな経済、科学の発展はすべて評価できるものです。しかし、食生活では非野菜が多すぎます。菜食主義や肉の代替品の革新を期待していただろう。
Thought you were eating small before your flight??? Lol
Hmm
So now you know that unless it is priced at less than 1.5x economy its simply not worth it. Better to save and buy business class when priced 2-2.5x economy.
Romescooo a Singapur, no fotis!!!!!!!
Tokyo ikitai desu
