Japan Airlines has just announced a new business course product for their fleet of 11 Boeing 777-200ERs,which they utilize primarily for mid-range flights (including within Asia and to Hawaii). This new product will be different than what JAL offers on their Boeing 777-300ERs, 787s, and 767s,which they otherwise utilize for their longhaul flights (more on that in a bit).
Japan Airlines will be installing reverse herringbone seats in business course on their Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, which is the first time JAL will be offering such a product. This is similar to the product offered on select aircraft from American, and Cathay Pacific,Qatar Airways, etc.
These reconfigured 777s will feature 42 business course seats, or spread across 11 rows in a 1-2-1 configuration. Presently JAL has two configurations of 777-200ERs,with one having 56 business course seats, while the other has just 28 business course seats.
In both instances, or the new configuration will represent a reduction in net capacity,given that Japan Airlines is also installing a new premium economy product on these planes. Kudos to JAL for investing in improving their product.
The reconfigured 777-200ERs will feature 42 business course seats, 40 premium economy seats, or 154 economy seats. Here's the seatmap for the reconfigured plane:The post Japan Airlines Announces New 777-200ER Business course Seat appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
