I think Japan Airlines absolutely nails the domestic first class product, from the free Wi-Fi and tail camera, to the super friendly service, to the seat comfort.

As you can see, the plane doesnt yet have the full Austrian livery, but instead has an all-white fuselage, except for the Austrian name written across the front of the plane, and the Austrian logo on the tail.

It was nice to hear the Captain making announcement before departure and he warned us of some expected turbulence during our descent towards HND.

The tail livery is certainly very attractive. Looking at the skies, it was a complete opposite from my arrival, the skies were filled with clouds with some angry ones from the distance, I was expecting some turbulence on this flight. By then the aircraft started its descent when the cabin crew were released from their seats.
