CONCLUSION

It was our first time to fly with Japan Transocean Air (it's primarily based in Okinawa) and I have to say that it actually went well. The J class differs from the normal economy class with the seats being broader and thus giving more comfort. It actually would be equal to economy extra on some European airlines. For only 1000 yen more (about 10 USD), I have to say that it is actually worth your money for a two hours flight. Plus, the cabin attendants were very nice, as always. Till next time 😉 Sayonara 😍
