日本的航空公司以前是使用波音飛機比較多，但現在不論日本航空或是全日空也開始使用空中巴士執飛。前者則使用A350-900執飛國內熱門線路，後者使用A380執飛日本-美國檀香山，A321及A320 Neo執飛國內及國際線，這也是一個很大的改變。今天，就等我們帶你去看看日本航空A350-900的國內線頭等艙吧。

Japanese airlines tended to use Boeing aircaft.  However, both major Japanese carriers - JAL and ANA, have been expanding their Airbus fleet.  The former uses the A350-900 for popular domestic routes; while the latter uses the A380s exclusively for flights to Honolulu, the A321 and A320 NEOs for both domestic and international routes.  This is indeed quite a change.  Today, I'll take you on a journey in domestic first class on JAL's A350-900.

日本航空的國內線是使用第一航廈辦理登機手續，跟亞洲航空在吉隆坡一樣也是主要使用機器辦理登機手續。除了有特別行李，特別協助的旅客，而金卡會員及頭等艙、鑽石卡會員也分別有自己的地方去辦理登機手續，而且會有私家的安檢地方直達貴賓室。金卡會員貴賓室及頭等艙貴賓室也是同一個入口，只是轉左或轉右的分別。但注意的是國內線的Class J是不能進入貴賓室的，除了你是金卡會員。

Check-in is located in terminal 1 for JAL's domestic flights.  Similar to AirAsia's experience in Kuala Lumpur, check-in can be done through the kiosks.  There is an exception for those requiring special assistance, have oversized bags, elite members of the airline or are flying in first class; in which case, you'll have a dedciated check-in counter.  Moreoever, there is a dedicated lane for security check, which leads you directly to the lounge.  Gold card members and first class passengers both enter at the same entrance, it's just a matter of turning left or right.  Do note that domestic Class J passengers are not eligible to use the lounge, unless you are a gold card member.

東京羽田機場去福岡機場差不多是一小時一班，跟羽田機場去大阪伊丹機場一樣，而且也是執飛大飛機比較多。

The flights to Fukuoka depart every hour, similar to that of the Osaka Itami route.  You'll also mostly find larger aircraft being deployed on this route.

當天的登機門是12號，從貴賓室去登機門大約5到10分鐘時間。我到達登機門的時候，就已經很多人在等航班登機了。頭等艙和有需要協助的旅客先行登機。他們會在登機證上寫著boarding group 1。從第一個門口登機，就已經看到只有兩排，座位配置是2-2-2的頭等艙了。我坐第二排的中間過道。當天的頭等艙座位就只有1個位置是沒有人坐的。

Our flight boarded from gate 12, which is a 5-10-minute walk from the lounge.  At the time I arrived at the gate, most passengers were already there.  Priority boarding is avaialble to those in need, seated in first class and those who hold elite status.  To find out when you can board, simply look for the "boarding zone" printed on your boarding pass.  I boarded from the first door, and immediately saw the first class cabin spread out in 2 rows in a 2-2-2 configuration.  I was seated in the middle section of the second row.  There was only 1 empty seat in the first class cabin.

在登機前，座位已有一個枕頭及一個普通的耳機 ，拖鞋，機內雜誌及A350-900的安全指示卡就在前方個人電視下的地方。

Prior to boarding, a pillow and a headphone were placed on my seat.  Slippers, an inflight magazine and a safety card are placed just under the IFE screen in front of you.

座位旁邊就是座位控制器、電視控制器、耳機插座及充電的位置。當然，因為這是國內線，所以座位是不可以平躺的。

Next to the seat you'll find: seat controls, IFE remote, earphone jack and a charging outlet.  Since this is a domestic flight, the seat cannot be laid 180-degree flat.

在國內線來說，個人電視已經很大了，娛樂系統會有4套電影及少量電視劇，更有關於日本航空的短片。所有片也是提供日語播放。字幕則有英文，中文等選擇。

Considering this is a domestic flight, the IFE screen is pretty large.  The IFE is loaded with 4 movies and a couple of TV series.  In addition, you'll also find some short films about Japan Airlines.  All films are played in Japanese, though there are subtitles in other languages.

空服人員會跟你說聲謝謝選乘日本航空，之後介紹一下飛機餐及餐單，然後再來問問你喝甚麼飲料。

The cabin crew will first express their gratitude for flying with JAL, then you'll be briefed about the flight meal and menu, followed by a drink order.

飛機推出後，也開始前往05跑道起飛。起飛大約15分鐘，安全帶燈號熄滅，空服人員也開始預備飛機餐。大家注意一下，日本航空的Class J及經濟艙是只提供有限度的飲料，並沒有飛機餐的，只有頭等艙旅客才有飛機餐的。

We taxiied towards runway 05 shortly after pushback.  About 15 minutes into the flight, the seatbelt sign was turned off and the crew began preparing for the meal service.  Different to first class, only drinks are provided in J Class and economy class.

賣相非常美，完全是日本的風格

A very authentic presentation

打開主餐及米飯包裝，米飯是熱熱的。我看見當天的餐單是海鮮，所以也叫了白酒陪一下。沒想到，日本航空是一枝小瓶的給你，不是一杯杯的。

The rice was still hot after unwrapping it.  Since seafood was on the menu, I ordered a glass of white wine to accompany it.  I never thought they'd give you a small bottle instead of a glass.

空服人員在你吃完飯後，就會收走你的盤子，再問你需不需要咖啡或茶的飲料。Anky仔就叫了一杯日本綠茶。空服人員會用紙杯加一個蓋子送上來。

Our trays were cleared after the meal and was then offered tea or coffee, and I went for a matcha.  The tea came in a paper cup with a cover on top.

飛機最後用了1小時44分鐘飛到福岡機場，在日本時間15:18左右落地，比原定時間慢了18分鐘.

The flight took 1hr and 44 minutes, arriving at 15:18, with a delay of 18 minutes.
