Japan Airlines (JAL) will switch to a completely new amenity kits lineup from end of February 2018. ETRO, an Italian luxury brand, will be featured in the international First Class amenity kits on both outbound and inbound flights, as well as the international Business Class kits on the outbound flights (i.e. flights from Japan). For flights flying into Japan, the Business Class amenity kits will be designed by Tatsumura Textile, a famous manufacturer in Kyoto.

After updating its first class amenity kits, Japan Airlines (JAL) has updated its ZERO HALLIBURTON business class amenity kit design recently.

Japan Airlines will roll out brand new First Class amenity kits by Porsche Design from March 28 2017. The new kits will come in 2 different colors with red one being offered on outbound flights with the grey one being offered on inbound ones.

Japan Airlines (JAL) will renew its amenity kits for international First Class from March 30 2014. Unlike the previous JAL branded amenity kits, the new kits are a collaboration between JAL and LOEWE, a Spanish high-class brand. This is the first time LOEWE ever collaborate with an airline.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has announced its latest inflight service enhancement in the premium cabins which will be rolled out in September. The new menus will be designed by a group of renowned chefs and beverage specialists. New bedding including one for Business Class will be added too. Sounds familiar? Seems like ANA is trying to match the offerings from its rival as these are exactly what Japan Airlines (JAL) did with its New Sky Project.

When you fly in First Class, other than the more spacious seat and lavatory, it also comes with other perks such as better amenities. Below are some of them. (Note that I will cover the amenity kits in a later post because the photos I had taken would have given out what the cabin attendants (CAs) did to surprise me)

Sleepwear/Pajamas

In order to help you relax more and sleep comfortably, the CAs would present you the sleepwear (pajamas) during boarding. You could change it before departure or could simply ask for it whenever you want.
