First Class Japan Airlines food from LHR-HND for Fall 2016

Menu upgrades between LHR and HND. I haven’t been shy about my love for Japan Airlines food in first class.

Since our last JAL trek there have been menu tweaks in first class and other premium cabins on select routes. Here we focus on new Japanese options from London Heathrow to Tokyo Narita and new kid menus in first from Japan. First, first… Looks like JAL has a new celebrity cook in the kitchen.

These are as good as we’ve used from a kit on a plane but you might do better with a higher decibel-rated earplug from the likes of Macks, Heros, Moldex and others typically available at your local drug store.
