This was a great flight on Japan Airlines. Not only was the hard product comfortable, but the soft product was exceptional too. I liked how all the flight attendants bowed in unison during their pre-flight routine. Could you imagine a group of long haul United or American flight attendants bowing to the passengers? Between the impressive IFE selection and a bit of sleep, this felt like the shortest-transpacific flight I've been on. My only gripe was that I couldn't select a seat until check-in. When I checked in, only the last several rows of the aircraft were open. I was still able to snag an aisle seat though, so I can't complain.

Thank you for sharing.

The new UA club at SAN looks pretty nice--certainly much nicer than the Airspace lounge I've been to.
I've never been to the Airspace lounge at SAN, but I'm actually planning on trying it out prior to a flight I have later this week since I get access through one of my credit cards. I won't get my hopes up, lol. While the UA club doesn't have much in the way of food, it is very new and clean and it's never been crowded when I've visited. The last couple times I've been to a UA club at O'Hare they were so crowded that it was more comfortable to just wait at the gate.
Wow, the Y cabin looks so spacious and classy, only on a Japanese airline you can find light couloured seats.
Great meals as well. 590$ for such a long trip on JL is a great bargain.
Some more details on your personal impressions and interactions with the crew during the trip could be interesting. :)
