Let's hope there's a second choice--and it's not Mac.

Along with the concept of omotenashi, KFC is a hallmark of traditional Japanese service.

A couple of times a year I'm quite partial towards some KFC. Quite happy to have it on a long flight to London.

2 years ago (1? 3?) JAL served MosBurger on their flights. One of the most disgusting things I've eaten, and I'm generally a fan of the Mos I've eaten in the restaurants. Hope this turns out better.

I have occasional cravings for KFC as well (not at Christmas) but I`m quite sure when reheated 12 hours after being made and then consumed at 30,000ft - it will be underwhelming. Free PR for JAL, though.

Why?KFC? Of all the food on the earth...

As long as the chicken is piping hot and not rubbery and chewy, why not? It's a choice, you can tell the airlines ahead of time, what you want, if you want vegetarian, or Kosher, Halal, most airlines offer these other alternatives, but you need to put in these requests way in advance when booking your flight, they don't always offer these selections. Other than that, it's NOT that bad of a thing to serve KFC as long as it's fresh why not?

Very good!! I want to eat KFC using JAL. I like fried chicken and biscuit. I am happy to eat even if Economy class, but I must go U.S or U.K untill February to eat KFC. In that case, it is better to go to buy KFC store.
