Passengers travelling with Japan Airlines on international flights will get to enjoy new meals starting September 1.
The carrier says it has welcomed five chefs from a Japanese culinary competition called Red U-35 to create meals for JAL’s premium economy and economy class passengers. The Japanese flag carrier is introducing a number of new dishes, including the classic fricassee dish (see above for photo) and spicy stew dish (see below for photo).
The poussin and mushroom fricassee and the spicy stew dish will be available in premium economy and economy class cabins for three months on the following flights:
- From Tokyo Narita to Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Vancouver, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Moscow, Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Delhi, Jakarta, Manila, Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh
