Japan Airlines to start Melbourne-Tokyo flights
By David Flynn, May 26 2017
EXCLUSIVE | Japan Airlines will begin direct flights between Melbourne and Tokyo from September 2017.
JAL's Boeing 787 Dreamliner will ferry travellers on the 10½ hour journey to Toyko's popular but distant Narita International Airport.
The flights will run as follows:
- JL773 leaves Tokyo/Narita at 10:30am to reach Melbourne at 9:55pm (starting September 1)
- JL774 is wheels-up from Melbourne at 12:05am, arriving into Narita Airport at 9:05am the same day (from September 2)
"We're very pleased with the success of our Sydney-Tokyo route and are considering flights from Melbourne to Tokyo," a spokesperson for Japan Airlines told Australian Business Traveller, "but can't comment on unannounced routes."
Australian Business Traveller understands that Japan Airlines staff have been visiting Melbourne Airport across recent months to make arrangements for lounge access and sign contracts for 'below the wing' services such as check-in, baggage handling and catering.
Qantas launched daily flights between Melbourne and Tokyo/Narita in December 2016, taking over a route previously flown by low-cost sibling Jetstar.
The Qantas flight is a daily service to Tokyo with an overnight leg back to Melbourne, while JAL's flights will complement those of its Oneworld partner, running overnight from Melbourne to Tokyo and then during the day and early evening en route to Victoria.
The pointy end of JAL's Boeing 787-8 features 38 of its business class Sky Suites.
These are arranged in a 2-2-2 layout (albeit with direct aisle access for every passenger due to the offset seating) with a retractable privacy screen between the paired seats.
Each converts into a 1.88 metre fully-flat bed...
... with an oversized 23 inch video screen boasting over 300 channels of programming.
The business class cabin occupies almost half of JAL's Boeing 787, before you get to the 35 premium economy seats arranged 2-3-2, each with a generous 42 inches of pitch and 19.2 inch wide seat in a fixed shell design so the passenger in front of you can't recline into 'your' space.
Finally, 88 economy seats ranked 2-4-2 sport a pleasing 33 inches of pitch and are 19 inches wide.

Since the time we published our article, JAL has temporarily paused the sale of these flights - they still show in GDS systems with all fare types still loaded in, just with availability set at zero across the board (so that you can't book a new ticket). We'll post an update once we know more - it could simply be that JAL is waiting to 'announce' the route before fares go back on sale. :)

Glad to see JAL is expanding (I had the privilege of flying First Class on SYD-NRT last year and they were utterly fantastic). Given their LOPAs, they clearly see substantial premium demand from SYD/MEL. I doubt they'd want to fly into BNE though... Brisbane probably couldn't sustain their number of Business Class seats in addition to Qantas' Narita service. But they really are a damn good airline and its good to see them expand and thrive.

Considering JAL had 2 x daily 747 services, one to Tokyo the other to Osaka in the 90's, I am sure with a growing market and smaller aircraft they will be able to sustain 2 x daily flights today.

This is brilliant, JAL are excellent to fly with. One thing JAL are not good at though are connections - half the year the SYD flight leaves before connecting flights can get to it, and this one lands in MEL too late to connect to anything. I realise slot timings aren't always easy, but sliding their flights slightly would open up them up to a lot more connecting pax, and would make day or night only flights possible in both directions.

About time this got confirmed. There's been rumors about JAL on MEL-TYO for years.
Until recently, they had been limited in where they could go due to the bankruptcy bailout. They were only allowed to open new routes to cities they had operated to at the time of the bankruptcy (eg, BNE).
Now we just need MLIT to give the Australian route more HND slots, so JL can get some.

They had some great Business specials to Europe last year ($5300 IIRC) but being MEL the domestic leg never appealed, they could be going head to head with Finnair for the Oneworld discount J to Europe for the Holiday market (I did that 2 years ago and at least 50% of the J from SIN-HEL were Australian Couples/Families)
And for those MEL to Japan... well I love a 747 but the skybead compared to this...

How is changing SYD-HND from 744 to 330 going to help? The route would still require 2 aircraft, unless Qantas is willing to retime the flights (which is hard given the flight times, HND slot times, SYD curfew and allowing for connections on either end), and the 747 flight is often fully booked.
While HND needs 2 aircraft, QF doesn't have enough aircraft to offer another flight to Japan without cutting something else. The QF fleet is fully committed to the existing network other then low travel days (Tuesday and Wednesday) when the long haul flights that aren't daily don't operate. The seasonal routes are only possible because the planned heavy maintenance (such as the A380 in MNL) isn't happening during those high peak periods.
