JAL 787-8 Sky Suite | Tokyo to Seoul + Haneda Observation Deck & Sakura Lounge

I flew aboard Flight JL91 from Tokyo Haneda to Seoul Gimpo. Prior to boarding I had the opportunity to check out the Haneda Terminal 3 Observatory, which was perfect for plane spotting, as well as the JAL Sakura Lounge. Our aircraft was fitted with the Apex suites, which were very comfortable despite being an older product. I especially appreciated the fact that even the window seats had direct aisle access due to the staggered seating. We took off to the east and made a lefthand turn west towards Korea. For the meal service, I had some rice balls with salmon, along with miso soup and green tea. Some basic amenities such as a blanket, pillow, small headphones, and slippers were also provided with the seat, despite the flight being roughly only 2hrs. We had nice views on this flight, including the Lake Suwa region, Komatsu Airport, the Oki islands, east coast of South Korea, and Downtown Seoul. Overall this was a great flight with my only complaint being a broken IFE system. #japanairlines #boeing787 #dreamliner #businessclass #tripreport #japan #korea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Airline: Japan Airlines (JL) Aircraft: Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Tail Number: JA836J Flight Number: JL 91 Route: HND to GMP Seat: 2K (Business Class) Date: August 25, 2026 Equipment: iPhone 15 Pro Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 - Entering Haneda Terminal 3 00:45 - Terminal 3 Observatory Deck 02:24 - Sakura Lounge 03:10 - Gate & Boarding 03:38 - Seat 03:56 - Menu 04:29 - Pushback 04:41 - Engine Start 05:37 - Slat Extension 05:57 - Begin of taxi to the runway 08:30 - Takeoff 10:27 - Left turn over Tokyo Bay 12:11 - Lake Suwa region 13:06 - Meal Service 13:50 - Pilot Announcement 15:12 - Oki Islands 19:38 - Inflight Amenities 16:01 - Lie flat seat function 16:26 - Galley & Lavatory visit 20:37 - Views of Seoul 21:50 - Landing 24:30 - Pulling into the gate 25:18 - Disembarking & Land side Arrivals
