Japan Airlines is preparing to upgrade its service between New York City and Tokyo. The Tokyo-based carrier is getting ready to unveil its first Airbus A350-1000 aircraft and, in the process, will debut an entirely new set of cabins.<\/p>\n

The carrier, also referred to as JAL, is set to receive 13 A350-1000 jets over the coming years, which the airline plans to deploy for long-haul international flights. (It’s also in the process of receiving a large order of A350-900 aircraft<\/a> for domestic service.)<\/p>\n

With four cabins, the new aircraft features private suites in first class and business class; the suites have doors, lie-flat seats and 4K entertainment systems you can listen to without headphones \u2014 and without disturbing your neighbors.<\/p>\n

JAL plans to start the A350-1000 on flights between New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport<\/a> (HND); the hope had been to launch service on the new aircraft by November. However, citing supply chain disruptions, company officials currently expect to launch sometime between now and the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Whenever the plane begins flying the 6,000-plus mile route between the Northeast and Japan,<\/a> passengers can expect a significantly upgraded experience from the carrier’s current Boeing 777-300ER<\/a> service. This is a compelling option at a time when airlines have reported strong interest in long-haul international flights to Asia, particularly Japan, about a year after the country fully reopened to tourists.<\/a><\/p>\n
