Correction:

After publication, a report from the Guam Daily Post reported JAL will also reduce the regular scheduled flights between Tokyo and Guam from two daily flights per day to one. The lone daily service will use the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The new schedule will see a reduced overall seat capacity from JAL on the Guam-Tokyo route than previously reported.

Within a week of United’s move for schedule adjustments for its service between Guam and Tokyo-Narita, Japan Airlines (JAL) is upgrading its own services to the island.



According to Routesonline, JAL will operate Boeing 777-200ER aircraft with 312 seats on one of the two daily flights between Narita and Guam (JL941/JL942) starting on September 1. The 777 service will be an upgrade from the current 767-300 jets used on the route that have international configurations between 200-240 seats.

According to Japan Airlines' website, the Boeing 777-200ER with 312 seats is one of three seating configurations the airline has of the 777 variant. The 312-seat configuration has 26 Business and 286 Economy class seats, and Business class travelers will get JAL’s Sky Suite III seats, which can be adjusted as a fully-flat bed. Other features on the jets include in-seat power, and inflight wi-fi when available.















Japan Airlines’ move to deploy the 777s on the Narita-Guam flights follow United Airline’s schedule to bring its own 777 service on two of its three daily flights on the route effective August 1.
