Reopened on October 8

The former Diamond Premier Lounge reopened as the JAL First Class Lounge after renovation. Seating capacity increased by about 40 percent.

Not bad

Extremely limited food options. A sore disappointment for an otherwise great airline. Only redeeming qualities are the dedicated security checkpoint and the beer machine. While this lounge is considered the "first class" lounge, it's virtually identical to the neighboring Sakura lounge, save for some extremely minimal prepackaged food.

But let's be real - you're in Japan. The pre-security restaurants are phenomenal. Spend your time there instead.

Pro tips

  • Try the privacy sofas when the private rooms are full

    Look in the quiet seating area for a privacy sofa. People have found it calmer than the busy entrance, even when the private rooms were occupied.

  • Curry bread can still be available during tea time

    Between 2 and 4 p.m., look for curry bread and cheese bread alongside the sweets. They have stayed on the buffet after the rice dishes were cleared.

  • Look for karaage from 4 p.m.

    If you are still in the lounge after tea time, check the buffet for fried chicken and savory sides. Miso soup also returns after 4 p.m.
