Japan Airlines (JAL) will introduce the JAL Premium Economy cabin on the Frankfurt - Tokyo (Narita) route (JL407/408) from February 3, 2008 as the carrier announced. JAL Premium Economy was first introduced on the airline’s daily flight between London and Tokyo from December 1 2007.

Initially the JAL Premium Economy will be available on the Frankfurt - Tokyo route on alternate days, but from March 1, 2008 it will be available daily. During 2008, JAL Premium Economy will also be introduced onto the airline’s Paris - Tokyo route, followed by US and other Europe routes.

Located in its own exclusive cabin area, JAL Premium Economy features the new JAL Sky Shell Seat, the world’s first shell-shaped seat in premium economy class.

Every seat comes with its own power outlet suitable for personal computers, and a seat tray that can easily accommodate a fully opened A-4 sized laptop. Passengers can enjoy the latest movies, music and games on their own personal 9-inch TV screen, using JAL’s state-of-the-art audio-visual-on-demand (AVOD) in-flight entertainment system.
