Cathay Pacific used to operate its 747 on flights to Tokyo-Haneda and Narita featuring a very unique first class product at the nose of the plane. Unfortunately the product has since been retired, but the seat itself isn’t all that different from the 777 First Class they offer on the flight …
The Japan Airlines First Class Lounge is just past security, up a pair of escalators in Terminal 2 and is available to JAL first class passengers, oneworld emerald members, and oneworld first class passengers. We were eligible to visit the lounge because of our connecting flight to Hong Kong on …
