This year, Japan Airlines will introduce the JAL Premium Economy cabin on four more European routes, including Amsterdam – Tokyo. From October 2008 JAL Premium Economy will initially be available on three of the seven flights a week offered by JAL between Amsterdam and Tokyo. This will be for flights on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The new cabin will be available on this route on a daily basis from December 2008. The other three routes are: Moscow-Tokyo, London-Osaka and Paris-Nagoya.
Located in its own exclusive cabin area, JAL Premium Economy features the new JAL Sky Shell Seat, the world’s first shell-shaped seat in premium Economy class. With 20% more legroom than available in Economy class, the Shell Seat’s clever shell-shaped sliding seat-back design ensures that passengers’ private space is maintained throughout the flight, undisturbed even when the seat in front is reclined. For added comfort, this ergonomically designed seat comes fitted with a footrest and headrest.
Every seat comes with its own power outlet suitable for laptops. The seat tray can easily accommodate a fully opened A-4 sized laptop. Passengers can enjoy the latest movies, music and games on their own personal 9-inch TV screen using JAL’s state-of-the-art audio-visual-on-demand (AVOD) in-flight entertainment system.
In addition to the great selection of food and drinks available on JAL’s Economy class menu, passengers in JAL Premium Economy are also served refreshments and snacks such as champagne, instant noodles and ice cream during their journey.
