JAL’s first class lounges in both Narita and Haneda airport were among those which were given the limelight. Boasting of their food quality, their selection of fine wine and other refreshments, immaculate saloons, and proficient staff—including their own sushi chef serving delectable nigiri sushi—JAL’s lounge at Narita is indeed something to behold.
Other qualities that contributed to the airline’s 5-star classification includes their food menu, which prides itself with serving various cuisines, as well as their airport crew, who are known for executing the already-established trait of hospitality from Japan.
