Love the vid, are you using the DJI Osmo 3 by any chance? Great quality.

@SebbyFung 4 ай бұрын

A mix of DJI Pocket 3 (establishing shots / walking / eating) and rest are Sony FX3 with a 14 GM or a 16-35 GM. DJI is perfect if it's bright but struggles with low light due to sensor size.

@SebbyFung 9 ай бұрын

There's a Conrad in Tokyo that's really nice. For the transit hotel at the end of the video, we chose whatever was cheap and convenient on hotels.com.

Looks like a whole lot of fun. I flew JAL F this past summer, ANA F The Suite a month ago, I will be flying the new JAL J in May back to the U.S. and then ANA J The Room around Christmas 2024. Japanese airlines are truly something else!

@conorrichard9829 5 ай бұрын

Also, how did you like JAL first class relative to their business class on their 777? Worth waiting and using extra points for their first class?

@SebbyFung 4 ай бұрын

Yes, worth waiting for F imo :)

Hi Sebby! I've been watching asksebby for quite sometime now and I can't thank you enough for all the news and updates. I actually saw you in HND, I really wanted to say hi but was too hesitant since you were waiting for your oversize luggage 🧳 😂 PS I flew Polaris on points thanks to your videos (and many more CC KZbinrs) 😅

@SebbyFung 9 ай бұрын

You should say hi! It's actually surprising how small the oversized area is at HND. Literally a giant crowd of people waiting for skis and snowboards lol

yeah it is; that is an old JAL business class product so it's a bit dated and strange for today's standards. JAL recently unveiled their new business class product to compete with the Room from ANA.

Hey Sebby, I just booked a flight with JAL Business Class from HND to SFO for next year using BA award travel and was wondering how you went about seat selections. Do we just have to wait and get assigned seating from them or can we call to select a seat? Thanks in advance!

@SebbyFung 9 ай бұрын

You can call. The site kept erroring out for me. We were assigned seats at the airport.

Have taken this flight and the reverse (JL2) in business a couple of times. The 2-3-2 configuration is a little strange. But the beds are very, very comfortable. I’m 6’2” tall, with size 12 feet, and these seats have a footwell that easily accommodates my monsters. In terms of service, JAL, as well as ANA, are top notch. Food selections in JAL business are better than ANA, but in PE and cattle class, ANA is better.

@SebbyFung 9 ай бұрын

This! We did ANA J (old product since they changed it from HND to NRT for the SFO route) on the way back and it's such a contrast for leg room. Footwells here are awesome.

1 more year of status and then we're probably going to switch over to AA or Alaska. We matched over to Alaska and have been enjoying OneWorld status and the lounges. Happy to go into JL and CX First Class Lounges :) Long-term, might do AA since it's within the realm of our business spend + flights. Might talk more about earning status on the Ask Sebby Business channel if that's useful / relevant :)

✈️ I live in Japan (Okinawa) and JAL is my go to airline domestically and international. Domesticly First class is the way to go, or J class to save some money. International, Business class is great, but First is the best if you got the cash or points. Note on the chicken, FamilyMart is the best for chicken 🍗🍗 and coffee ☕️ (much cheaper than Starbucks), then Lawson’s 🍗. 7-11 is the bottom of the barrel for chicken, but they excell in bento selections 🍱. Late night is very hit and miss on options as you discovered. Beer recommendation next time in Japan, Asahi Draft with the pull off lid. It’sa step up from Asahi Super Dry (Still good). All the combini’s have their own specialties. Love watching your postings and a subscriber. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

@@SebbyFungYou will love FamilyMart “Fami Chicki” (also they have a spicy version as well) is very good but be careful of hot grease on your first and last bite. It can feel like a 3rd degree burn if not. 🤣 They should give you a wet nap on check out, if not ask for one, you will need it! 😉 Enjoy! 👍🏻

@@SebbyFungOverall good value. LAX to NRT for about $300. Add 3600JPY for a bus from airport to Shinjuku. The lack of food can be an issue. I loaded up at Amex lounge. Then I get the bento and bottle of water 2 hrs into flight. Knowing there was gonna be nothing else for 10 hrs I made sure to eat every grain of rice and drop of sauce.
