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.

JAL Relaxation Service Room

Since the last big renovation, Japan Airlines (JAL) has been providing complimentary massage service at its First Class Lounges at both Tokyo Haneda (HND) and Narita (NRT), and Sakura Lounge at Narita. Lounge visitors are eligible to receive a 10-minute massage service provided by a therapist and can choose to focus on one of the three areas: upper body, feet, and scalp. Even though it is a very popular service and most of the time there is a long wait for it, JAL has decided to discontinue this relaxation service from October 1 2017.
