Wow, that's sexy. Not fair they don't fly their 777s here.

That bird is configured for domestic runs within Japan. Its amazing when you think that for such a small country they use such large aircraft for short haul routes, and they fill them up!

Wow - Using the 777-300 for domestic routes - (with the same scheme).

The 200ER will be for European routes.

We may see it yet - but unlikely considering how few JAL 747 regies we actually get.

Tommy, JA704J is actually an internationally configured 777-200. There are photos of her taken at LHR, AMS, SVO, CDG, and ZRH.

Oh, right! Yup, in that case those 777-300s are in a domestic configuration. Cathay Pacific and ANA do the same thing. The -300ER for all three airlines are the internationally configured ones.
