I flew JAL from Sydney to London and it was the best flight I ever experienced. To start it all of the price was only beaten by Garuda - but then I'd rather do the journey by rowing boat than to fly with them!
Since JAL did not have a direct flight to London we got a free nights accomodation at their own Tokyo Nikkohotel (4-star) including breakfast. The planes (both legs of the flight) were clean, the staff were very friendly and (since I am a smoker) I was particularly happy that they offer a smoking area in the plane. Mind you - my wife does not smoke and still she had no probs with the plane being overly smokey.
There were personal TV's with some great movies to watch (they even had 4! newly released blockbusters eg. "As good as it gets", which came out just shortly before our flight).
The food was pretty much the best airline food I have ever tasted - and they offer both traditional japanese and western style food.
Also the ground staff were very friendly and efficient which also extended to the transfers between airport and hotel.
All in all, JAL will definitely be my first choice for any future lang-haul flights and I'd recommend it to anyone.
