- I flew with Japan Airlines from Tokyo (Narita) to Los Angeles and experienced JAL Sky Suite, a Business Class seat like a private room.
It was super comfortable.

Thanks for watching
You stole my heart when your hands were shaking. You seem like such a wonderful person.
I cracked up when he zoomed into the Ren’s special curry and then debated since he already had 2 bowls in his belly already. Great video.
항상 잘보고 있습니다
Women's bath is on the other side.
JAL = BEEF CURRY 😂
Lounge food better than some restaurants!
More please!
I think this is the first one of these videos where we're going beyond the borders of Japan. This is a historic moment.
Except for Thailand.
Yeah, but to Commiefornia

@@techmarine83so edgy!
Only Solo could describe his meals in "rounds" as if he's in a boxing ring. 🥊🥊🥊
That’s pretty normal 🤷🏻♂️
"I'm getting hungry ..." these words are kind of redundant on a STJ video 🤣
I've come to the conclusion that Solo san is a Professional Food Muncher! He even clears his plate of unknown and mysterious looking foods, foods he's not keen on...One time, in Okinawa, he ate a piece of rubber that was disguised as a tasty steak, which almost destroyed Solo san's soul! This man is a foodie legend😊
its kind of a cultural thing too. japanese people will eat the food put in front of them.
His body is 100% healthy... and 10% curry, by weight.
@@SheeplessNW6 😄 haha! I agree!
Yes i admire him for always finishing his food whatever the taste and amount no waste

2:32 First Class Lounge admittance based on JAL Mileage Bank level requires at least JGC Premier status. In order to reach this status, a member must qualify through one of two means:
- 80,000 FLY ON points, half of which must be earned on JAL flights
- 80 flights, half of which must be JAL flights PLUS 25,000 FLY ON points
To get a sense of the difficulty of earning FLY ON points: A economy ticket with a moderate discount from Tokyo to Fukuoka would net you around 800 points.
Once you attain the status, there are a number of enhancements available (to Japanese residents) to make retaining that status easier, but you have to do it the hard way the first time around.
I was allowed to enter a few days ago with my One World airlines Emerald Status gained through American Airlines. Platinum Pro status on American Airlines, which grants you Emerald Status in One World, is attainable if you have a American branded credit card and fly at least 4 times a month. I was surprised to see that One World partner airlines grant far more leniency international travelers compared to their own domestic customers!
@@MrRevilo50 I feel like you’re understating the difficulty of attaining 125,000 Loyalty Points a bit lol
It’s funny that you should mention the difference in treatment between native and partner travelers. American does something similar, for those who are unaware: Partner oneworld Sapphire and Emerald members can use American Airlines Admirals Club and Flagship Lounges while flying within the US, but top-tier American AAdvantage Executive Platinum members (Concierge Key is invite-only so it doesn’t count) cannot use those lounges based on status alone when flying domestically.
I marvel at your ability to eat so much food and still stay a healthy size. Is it all the walking?
That's crazy... I just hope to even ride on a jet once someday! I've only ever been on small single engine planes and helicopters but my biggest bucket list fantasy is to actually go somewhere on a big airliner.
you can also get lounge access if you have their credit card LOL
I love it when I see the old "!!" after taking a bite. BTW, why the orange juice preference?
Just flew in JAL Sky Suites last month - Chicago to Tokyo. Easily the best flight I’ve ever had.
How long was your flight?
@@steverogers7601 About 12 hours
My mom & I have watched all your videos! We are in Huntington Beach, Orange County (Prefecture), south of Los Angeles. We are curious about what you are planning to see here! 😃
⚾ Ohtani, I imagine! 😎✌️
What brings you to the US, Solo San?
Solo Travel…America?!?!
I've always thought that if you have a long flight, and you can afford it, paying for first class is doing yourself a favor in terms of comfort. The food looked amazing as well!
Absolutely. I've flown coast-to-coast economy for work a few times, and those experiences convinced me to save up and do first class when I take personal flights of that length.
First class is overrated and mostly about bragging rights. Business class is usually what matters, to the point that some airlines don't even HAVE first class anymore (like Qatar - their business class is basically better than pretty much anyone else's first class).
@@BlownMacTruck It's definitely not what it used to be. Pre-9/11 it was incredible.
It depends on the airline honestly.
I agree, it’s better flying first class if you can afford but some first class experiences aren’t worth it. Sometimes there isn’t that huge of a difference.
However, some airlines do have a great first class experience and absolutely worth it if you have a long flight.
@@steverogers7601 Is AirFrance's first class any good?
Wouldn’t it have been funny if the deplaning music had been Sunflower🎶 Sunflower🎶
🤣😂🤣😂
The computers running the inflight entertainment system runs Linux os
After a long life of traveling, I no longer fly. For the price of a business or first class ticket, I can replicate & vastly improve on the same luxury at home countless times over without the jet lag. 😂 But I suspect one has to satisfy the travel bug first.
Is this your first time flying to the US
You gotta post what you do in LA.
Since it isn't in the video I'll just have to imagine it as the outro.
Sing with me: Sunflower, sunflooooweeeer
You, have earned yourself a trip overboard 💯 🙅🏼♀️
yikes - some bad timing going to Southern California with a hurricane bearing down on it! sorry man! thx for the vid though!
happy too see you so excited by this flight - ty STJ
Loving the suite. When I eventually get to Japan from England I plan to be in business 😀
Looks amazing! So happy you got this experience, you deserve it. Hope I get to enjoy it one day too 🙏🥂
Bro, hope they sponsored this for you. Way to go STJ.
If you are in LA for the upcoming heavy rains, you might be amused by the local people react to them! Enjoy your stay in my home state and thank you for always interesting and well done videos.
There is NOTHING amusing about flooding. Floods take many lives every year. If you're over in that part of the country, take it seriously. Don't be one of those fools who laughs and drives into flooded streets. You might end up being carried out of the water and into a morgue like so many others.
Northern Californian here; no stranger to flooding, as are the Japanese. On the other hand I saw people in Orange County reacting to heavy rain like it was a bombing raid and was amused. @@lemaildoe
Thanks to your love of curry, I finally decided to try it from a Japanese restaurant and I absolutely love it! Now I understand why you almost always get curry 🤤 Oishi 😋
🦘🇦🇺🦘🇯🇵
I wonder how much money Solo San has, he pays quite a lot of trips in quite expensive classes!
Is he paid to do that? Or does he just have a lot of money?
Either way, thank you solo san, love the videos. So calming
It looks like you had a comfortable flight with delicious food. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the US, and found some food to enjoy while you visited. Thanks for letting us tag along again.
Nice video! I wonder about your adventure in L.A., however I prefer your Kyushu cruises more.
Oh, WOW! I'm in California too! But I'm near the top of the state and you near the bottom.👋👍
If I knew you were coming to California, I would’ve looked for you to say “hello”. Hope you had a nice time.
That's a first at least for me about the Face Express. Is this new?
It certainly looked as though you had a lovely time coming to America -- even before you took off! Thanks for sharing this cool look into high-end JAL flight service. Everything you ordered looked so darned tasty!
Solo San travelling to America to finalise the opening of his first Curry Resturant😂
Did I miss the cost of this flight? It looked amazing.
I guess he upgraded to business class through JAL points (if that is possible) or JAL sponsored.
A lot of these so-called "reviewers" scam free tickets.
Not that I'm saying that is the case here....
We flew SFO to Bangkok on JAL business a few months ago. The flights from SFO to HND were on the flagship 777 with this 2-3-2 product. To and from BKK was a 1-2-1 business class product. I felt the 2-3-2 product was a lot better for sleeping. The 1-2-1 configuration had a strange angle for the footwell and at 6’2” tall with size 12 feet, the footwell also seemed too small.
Service on all flights was impeccable, as always. My only complaint, if you call it that, was about the lounges. At SFO, the lounge is pretty disgraceful, but that’s pretty much true of all SFO lounges, except United Polaris. None of the others hold a candle to lounges in Asian airports. I was also disappointed that the lounge at HND was changed. What was the Sakura Lounge became the First Class Lounge and a new Sakura Lounge opened a little down from the original. The old Sakura Lounge was much more comfortable.
But it’s always great flying either JAL or ANA. Both are superb airlines.
2-3-2 layout is extremely tight and clustering comparing to Emirates or Qatar Air Business class...
What will you be doing in LA?
May I ask what kind of camera you use to shoot your videos ? Love your work! 😀👍
When you get to LA, do NOT go downtown!
I'm wondering how much those three little pieces of meat and soup cost.
Wait are we funding your trips to LA now!? YES!!! Let's meet up! 😎🙃
Dear business class seat designers - PLEASE stop making your seats so narrow. Nice and wide and comfy is the only reason I would spend 10 grand or whatever other silly number you ask for.
Nice welcome to LAX STJ!!! Where you heading off to in USA? Doom Touring perhaps that is LA County LOL.
Really curious as to why he went to LA...
I really hate seeing "near threatened" species on a plate. Swordfish are in trouble, folks. Let's stop eating them.
Well you got upset for nothing. In most countries swordfish is NOT endangered including the USA and Australia and is caught at sustainable levels.
@@xr6ladhe didn’t get upset though.
@@xr6lad Human fishery is a major predator of swordfishes. The annual reported catch in 2019 of the North Atlantic swordfish amounted to a total of 1.3 million kilograms (2.9 million pounds). Overfishing is likely occurring in the Indian Ocean, and fishing mortality exceeds the maximum recommended level in the Mediterranean, thus these stocks are considered of high conservation concern. There is a reason Greenpeace has red-listed swordfish.
@@steverogers7601 ‘I really hate seeing near threatened’
Umm yea he did. Upset and wrong.
@@RealFarknMcCoy lol@ Greenpeace. That’s the violent artist organisation isn’t it that spends a fortune of the money it raising on high salaries. Something of a self serving organisation.
I watch your videos and videos from @travelgeekphotography . You both love curry! I think you should get together to make a tour of the best curries. Maybe you will become friends and be able to enjoy more curry, or perhaps you will be rivals but still share a love of curry together.
Thanks for your videos! They allow me to see things I would never be able to see on my own.
Surprise United 737-800 at 10:57 that United bases in GUM and flies all over the Pacific!
The seat looks so cozy and the food so delicious! 🤗👍
Greetings from Germany. 👋😊
Should you find your way to Denver Id be happy to show you the sights. Enjoy your time in LA
Where we going tonight?
I wonder if Solo will be hitting up a In-N-Out while in Los Angeles?? 🍔🍔
I once did coach, middle seat, from Chicago to Seoul. Had breakfast twice while on the flight. Sure wish I could have afforded this level of luxury!
You do know you could pick the olives off?
Welcom to US 🎉🎉🎉
Very nice. Thank you. (We all know what "!!" means... Excellent!)
you are a baller! i wouldn't want to get off the plane
Japanese airlines are behind in terms of wifi. Singapore Airlines already provide free wifi, across all classes.
Welcome to the U.S. my friend -I hope you have a wonderful time while you are here. I'm looking forward to contrasting the two flights 🙂.
Oh, that curry! My Mouth is watering. I'm more than a bit jealous.
If you pinch and push the part between fin and body, you don't waste the meat of sweet shrimp.
That seat is nicer than my apartment.
I see you like aeronautics too by your reference to the V1 and positive rate☺
Thank you for another exciting and new experience. I love going on these trips with you.
You need to eat more vegetables 🥗🥗🥬🥬🥒🥒🥦🥦🫛🫛🥕🥕🥕
the part about saving time at security and there was no one in line was funny.
I like the shadow of the plane lifting up. Clever recording
!!
You are gorgeous hun, love your videos!
My surprise was realising it was not snow but house roof's coming into LA.
Hope you had a fun adventure! I'm here with you in spirit 🙏
This is truly one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time, and it was sweet that you were excited and nervous when the champagne came. Your style is fantastic.
Until you land at LAX, then you're met with a terrible airport.
You flew right over my house. ☺
You fly to America and bring a hurricane with you. 😅
Solo san has been elected the permanent President of the Clean Plate Club!
Shacky hands due to excitement...😂😂😂😂
Food is so cool , would have used some bread to lap up the last bit of sauce :-)
Can't wait for your economy flight home. The comparison will be interesting 😊
I was not prepared for how much food there would be in this video!
Does this TV screen have a touchscreen where you sitting right now?
If I may ask, what brought you to Los Angeles?
Dang, JAL is spoiling you with all the curry options!
I love watching this video. Thanks. ❤
Welcome to my home! I hope the trip is enjoyable!!! Be sure to eat many tacos and other Mexican cuisine!!
Y'know, one of these days STJ is going to encounter a dish SO GOOD, he is going to have to resort to !!!. Thank you for another insight into the world of Japanese cuisine.
So glad I am eating right now or else I would be jealous.
I don't take overnight flights. I can't sleep on airplanes, even if I take an over the counter sleep aid. It's like trying to sleep in a loud dormitory.
Why is every place you go absolutely dead empty 😂
Buddy, I am SO happy you got to have your dream Curry. I live vicareously through you, mate!
THREE MINUTES TO GET THROUGH SECURITY!? Damn!
I absolutely love your videos. I hope you had a good time in Los Angeles.
@26:42: That's the San Andreas Fault...
if u're in LA in cali, watch out there's a hurricane coming and it's bad
Should have gone for triple curry 👊
I decided to fly JAL from Texas to South Korea (Economy Class) three years ago and I was really impressed by the service and the meals. I highly recommend them, way over American Airlines standards.
I also recently decided to fly Qantas from Texas to Melbourne. I highly recommend you skip Sidney if you can as their security lines were horrendous and unorganized. Still way over American Airlines standards as far as service and meals.
I decided to mention the comparison between American Airlines and these airlines as AA needs to step up their service immensely. Not only did I not experience any delays as far as boarding times but there were not any cancellations with the other two airlines. AA's reputation has gone way downhill in the recent year and they need to turn it around. I have spoken to people who have flown them in the last few months and they said they would avoid their airline in the future. Just food for thought.
V1, VR and V2 are indicated airspeeds (IAS) and are those used by the pilot during takeoff. First V1 or decision speed is reached, after which takeoff can no longer be aborted. Then VR or rate of rotation and then V2 or takeoff rate of climb. In your video, you point to V2 before VR.
Food looks ten times better than Air Canada.
I'm not a fan of any olives or capers either
Welcome to America! Enjoy your time here ❤ what a great flight ✈️ and video
