International Network
Tokyo Narita - Beijing
Decrease from 14 to 7 weekly roundtrip flights between November 25 and December 8 2013. JL863 and JL864 are temporarily suspended during this time.
With the exception of the SS6 rollout, the rest of the international route announcements are just the repeat of the April 30 announcement, which includes the Sydney route getting 787-8 service from December 1 (2 on ex-Sydney flights) and therefore losing Premium Economy service but gained JAL SHELL FLAT NEO seats and MAGIC-V with SKY MANGA. Tokyo Haneda - Bangkok route will be upgraded to 777-200ER with Premium Economy service while Tokyo Narita - Bangkok will see a mix of 777-200ER and 787-8 service.
The JAL SKY SUITE 777 (SS7) rollout schedule has not changed with Los Angeles and Chicago routes getting them in November 2013 and January 2014 respectively. The only exciting news here is now we know the Tokyo Narita - Kuala Lumpur route will be getting SS6 in January 2014 after Tokyo Narita - Vancouver launching this in December 2013. Unfortunately no specific dates were given on neither of the SS7 and SS6 rollouts.
