Go on the economy upper class deck seat (where possible) as it better and more comfortable than the lower deck economy class seats. You also get an added storage bin.

Y class Haneda to Okinawa. Seat felt cramped, seat pitch about 30". Pillows were found on each seat. Blankets (not individually wrapped) were given on request.

For an Economy Class Seat on a long-haul route (I was on a flight from Tokyo Narita-Vancouver), this was what I expected. Each seat had a personal television, a fair amount of recline, and a movable armrest. However, unlike other seats I've seen, the seat did not have a footrest. Also, though I'm on the small side, I still found it slightly difficult getting into the aisle.

The upper deck seating on the emergency exit row are highly desirable and usually only for their Global Club members. I was flying with a member, so I could get it. They did block the middle seat and we had the aisle and window, and the legroom is outrageously good. The problem is the width of the seat. It is probably 15" when you account for the IFE controller digging into your thigh the entire flight. Flew to the US in this same seat arrangement a few years back and it was equally miserable. Unless you are a typical Japanese size (small) this seat is horribly narrow. Don't know about legroom in the normal seats, but it must be equally as bad.

JAL's new premium economy on the JFK route is worth the extra money. Provided a very large person like myself with adequate comfort without having to shell out over $6000 for business class. The recline of the sliding shell seats is odd. Sort of like slumping rather than reclining, but a lot better than regular economy.

Seats looked fairly new, grey in colour with light blue blankets and white pillows provided in each seat. Wings headrest gave comfort during the flight from SIN-KIX sector. There is some space available even if the front passenger reclines his seat. As compared with ANA Y class (from Sin- Japan route), ANA Y class seat is more comfortable as compared with JAL.

Sydney to Tokyo then on to Vancouver and Mexico City. The economy seats are not made for people over 6 feet and I would never fly JAL again. The bulkhead seat has neither room to stretch your legs out, nor put them under your seat. Absolute agony. The bulkhead seats are so narrow that for fatter people it would be impossible to fit into them.

Seat pitch is on the tight side for anyone over 5'8" tall, about 31". Anything over 4-5 hours in this it will become uncomfortable. Seat comfort and width itself is otherwise ok and comparable to typical economy class seat. Being a 767 the layout is 2x3x2 means anyone is never more than 1 seat away from the aisle.

Tokyo Narita to Bangkok operated by Jalways Airline, a subsidiary of Japan Airlines. Seats were relatively new, but cramped both in pitch (about 30"-31") and width. Seatback video.

I felt uncomfortable with this seat. Seat is made of hard material. And seat pitch is only 31 inches. Quite lucky that an economy class seat in B767-300 has a headrest and a footrest. JAL improving their IFE. However, I hope they focus more on improving their seat comfort, especially seat pitch.
