    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!

    ‘Says not hungry and won’t order much’ in lounge.
    I then watch several dishes served and eaten. Hate to see ‘am hungry’ 🤣🤣

    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.

    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"!
