Japan Airlines currently has some exceptional Premium Economy airfares available to Europe. From $2,328 return, you can fly in Premium Economy with Japan Airlines on a wide range of dates to Frankfurt, Helsinki, Paris or London. Onward connections to other European cities are also available with Oneworld partner airlines.
A member of the Oneworld alliance, Japan Airlines is a 5-star Skytrax airline with an outstanding Premium Economy product and great customer service to match. Premium Economy tickets with Japan Airlines even include airport lounge access as standard, and with these fares you can also choose to add a free stopover in Tokyo.
These JAL Premium Economy fares book into “R” class. This fare class earns Qantas points and status credits at “Economy” rates, so you’d earn 9,700 Qantas points and 90 status credits for a round-trip booking from Sydney to Helsinki.
I recently paid approx $870 for premium economy with JAL to Tokyo (Narita), each way. Best flight of my life.
Flight attendants go out of their way, large seats, massive legroom, Semi recline without leaning back in to the person behind. 2-3-2 seating config.
I can never sleep on flights however slept like a baby.
Can’t speak highly enough of JAL.
