Beginning today, Japan Airlines becomes the first airline to serve HNL with regularly scheduled 787-8 from NRT. Actually, JAL has converted two NRT flights, JAL786/785 and JAL 784/783 from the 767-346ER to the 787-8. The rest of the Japan-HNL flights are now operated by 777-246ERs.
For today's flights, JAL786/785 is operated with JA824J (c/n 34834, l/n 27), and JAL784/783 is operated with JA834J (c/n 34842, l/n 98).
For today's flights, JAL786/785 is operated with JA824J (c/n 34834, l/n 27), and JAL784/783 is operated with JA834J (c/n 34842, l/n 98).

Happy to see the Dreamliner finally serving the islands.
"Up-Gauge" only in the fact that this a nicer aircraft from a pax POV. Actually about 50 seats less per flight. Another cut in lift to the islands. This time it is about 36,000 available seats per year. With a significant reduction in fuel burn that comes with this transaction, this will save JAL tons of money. Perhaps it will encourage them to add frequency.
Lovely wing on that thing. I also enjoy seeing the LED beacon at night.
