Japan Airlines is overhauling its international inflight dining experience starting this spring, bringing aboard two celebrated Japanese chefs, introducing destination-inspired menus in Premium Economy and Economy, and expanding its beverage program to showcase the finest in Japanese tea, sake and premium non-alcoholic options.
The changes, rolling out in phases beginning March 2026, reflect JAL’s ambition to position inflight dining as a cultural experience in its own right — one that speaks to the increasingly diverse and discerning global travelers flying to and from Japan. The airline noted that Japan welcomed more than 40 million inbound visitors in 2025, with that figure expected to climb to 60 million by 2030.
