  Beware of JAL if you’re someone who needs it to be relatively cool to sleep. They seem to be well known for their hot cabins and my recent flight with them HEL-HND confirmed that I (probably) won’t be flying with them long haul again, which is a shame given the otherwise very good product and service. It felt almost sauna-like at times, very uncomfortable!

    I had heard this too and was worried but last week my flight from London was fine. Apparently you can ask them to lower the temperature if necessary and they will.

  Does this mean you’ll soon be able to buy connecting flights from Southampton to the entire air France network?

  JAL doesn’t fly to IAH; DFW will be their second destination for the new A350

  Are JAL using the awful 17 inch across Recaro seats on their A350 in economy?

    18″ seat width with a 33″ pitch, according to their web site. Don’t know who makes the seats, but JAL is generally considered to be world’s best economy class.

      I saw in a media blurb that they were using Recaro, and they look very similar to the ones on Qatar’s A350 which felt super tight. 18″ is actually a downgrade when their 777 and 787s are 18.5″-19″. Here’s hoping they’re being truthful about the 18″ inches across because I’ll be avoiding it otherwise.

        You are right. The seats are by Recaro.

        9 abreast on an A350 will certainly be tighter than the current 9 abreast on the 777 and 8 abreast on the 787.

  I think it’s Eastern Airways rather than Eastern Airlines

  Another nail on Cardiff Airport’s coffin. 😔
