JAL Improves Meal Service in Business Class

Free Style Dining

– Passengers can choose when and what they want to eat

Tokyo, Friday August 26:

Japan Airlines is improving meal service in JAL Executive Class SEASONS, the

airline’s version of business class so that passengers can chose when they want to eat their second meal, in what

JAL calls “Free Style Dining’’. Up to now business class passengers have been served their second meal at the

same time.

From now, passengers on JAL flights on certain Japan-Europe

routes in JAL Executive Class SEASONS will be able to take

their second meal at any time they wish, up to 90 minutes

before landing.

JAL generally serves two full meals on medium and long-range international flights, with the second meal served

about two hours before landing. But from September 1

st

, JAL will introduce this new “Free Style Dining” system in

business class on flights between Tokyo/ Osaka-London, Tokyo/ Nagoya-Paris and Tokyo-Frankfurt (excluding

code share flights operated by partner carriers).

Any time after the first meal and 90 minutes before scheduled arrival time, passenger can choose what they want to

eat and when, so that they can enjoy their time on board in a more relaxed way.

Passengers can choose from a menu consisting of 13 different items including a pasta dish, soup and sandwiches

and an assortment of Japanese dishes including beef curry Japanese style, Chinese “Ramen’’ noodles, Japanese

“Udon’’ noodles in soup, simmered eel on steamed rice, braised beef and mushrooms on rice, “Oden” – fish cakes

and vegetables simmered in a soy-based broth and other Japanese rice meals.

JAL has held trials of the new style meal service in business class on flights between Tokyo and Frankfurt since

July, with overwhelmingly positive comments from passengers. The consensus was that it was very good idea to be

able to eat whenever they wanted, from such a varied second meal menu.

JAL will continue to offer both Western and Japanese-style breakfast menus to its passengers traveling on

overnight flights departing from these European cities.

JAL is now considering expanding “Free Style Dining” on other routes, such as transpacific flights to the U.S.A.

“Free Style” Dining for second meal service was originally introduced to the JAL First Class service in April 1998.
