Did you know Japan Airlines is a 5 star airline? (I didn’t, lol. But now I do!) Are they worthy of the designation? Is Skytrax a scam? Let’s find out on a quick flight from Taipei to Tokyo in Economy with JAL on a dirty 787. Their 2-4-2 configured economy cabin made for a very comfortable flight with a great crew and great food!
(Disclaimer: I did NOT find out if Skytrax is a scam on this flight, but if you have an opinion on that let me know in the comments below1!)
