Do they allow you to take the sleepers and pajama when you disembark
Have you compared ANA vs. EVA? Planning to trip to Asia in 3 months and taking Business Class.
Am i the only one who thinks this is far more superior to the big three middle Eastern airlines where everyone is always hyping about? I mean you get a first-class like seat in business class. And the food and service looks absolutely amazing.
for sure.its just ME careers are better placed geographically so that more people can avail of their services
It looks good but the Q suits with Qatar are something else.
I get the idea from this review that ANA aren’t as well polished as the middle eastern airlines, and lounge was poor too with few showers
which is never an issue in Doha or Dubai. I haven’t tried ANA business only seen this video, but I would probably still give it to the Q suits and Qatar for the best overall.
@@benjambreeg My problem is the opposite in that my destination of choice is usually Japan. When the Covid restrictions lift, maybe, just maybe, I might be able to afford this amazing product if I accept a hop from the UK to Germany on Lufthansa. I've done the London-Tokyo flight on ANA in economy in the past, but wanting Business does not stop me from being price conscious!
@@xr6lad Last time I checked tourists at least from the UK aren't allowed in unless in a guided tour. I'm not spending thousands on following some rando with an umbrella when I could be finding my own way.
Emirates has a halo from its first class showers. It's biz class is very outdated 2-3-2 on the 777. It's a little better on the a380. Q suites with Qatar are top stuff.
Pretty good accommodations for business class. I'll likely never get to fly at that level unless I got bumped up due to double booking, but it's been informative to watch your videos and see how different airlines handle their business class and the pros and cons of each. Thanks for posting these videos.
Thanks Jeff!
thank youuu Jeff
Love ANA. The crews are always smiling and always happy to serve 😄
Can't agree more on the importance of a shower facility being available at lounges, especially if you have long flights. Flying out of my country South Africa international flights are always long. The best i the good old days flyin SAA, was the arrivals lounge in Heathrow after an overnight flight😊👌🇿🇦
ANA lounges have been accepting Priority Pass holders since the pandemic- every single yen mattered for the airline for sure. I was there in July this year and my wait time for shower was around 2 hours. The lounge was clearly overcrowded. With travel demand bouncing back and Japan “sort of” reopening on 7th Sept, I wonder whether ANA will keep accepting priority pass holders much longer…? JAL lounge on the other hand was a lot quieter as it is not the Priority Pass lounge.
As someone who tends to fly with Japan Airlines when flying to Tokyo, this has certainly opened my eyes to an alternative.
Both your blinds we're down at 17:26👀
Staff reset the system. It then broke again once I put the blind up 😂
@@Paul_Lucas perhaps the blind wasn't broken but rather the 'down' button?
@@CyBeRiun that was indeed the problem, although it’s academic really as I couldn’t put it down 😊
Loved your review of ANA as I am a huge fan of Japanese Carriers. It was really sad though to see so many businesses close airside at HND. Japan really needs to hurry up with the re-opening so you can review the Shiki-Shima Train :)
My guess is the tour group requirement - the big deal breaker for most - will remain into 2023.
Hi Paul for a disabled large person like myself ANA business class is just purfect size wise.
I personally speak Japanese and would never dream of eating anything on board that was not from the Japanese menu.
The food supplied on your flight was outstanding even leaving my mouth watering.
Other than the shower situation I give ANA a very big 👍
Wasn't expecting so many chill video game song covers in this but appreciated 😂
Great trip report as always!
Well spotted 😃
Loving the Mario Kart 64 music during Meal 2 footage lol
Fantastic video as always; have flown JAL J and it was an impressive product, but it seems ANA has the better of the 2 (shame about the non closing window though!). Just hope the lounge situation on the International side (both airlines) fixes themselves up eventually!
It sounds like Sonic The Hedgehog music to me 😂😂
"Mama Mia!"
Another enjoyable review, Paul. This looks like another classy offering. The food looked great too
"I don't usually drink on long flights, but I think I'll make an exception for this one".
2 WEEKS LATER:
"Now, I don't usually drink on long flights, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity on this one."
3 WEEKS LATER:
"Wow, this signature cocktail is great!"
I love your unpretentious take on air travel. You are kind and considerate about your critique,which is wonderful to hear rather than some of the others that are too critical. You made the shower thing seem trivial and didn't make it a big deal. You moved on and that is why I like watching your videos. Looking forward to your next flight! Aloha from Hawai'i!🌺
What a great flight experience.
Amazing onboard product.
Great video yet again.
Wow the food looked amazing Paul! Looked great overall for a business offering considering many airlines seem to be skimping on their business offerings now.
Thanks Paul. 100% will try this next year👍🏼
Amazing video! I'm super excited to be flying this route this summer!
Wow, that looks amazing, great trip report Paul!
Love the cabin.Great work
Fabulous Paul, enjoyed that flight.
Great video! What an amazing seat, and the food looked incredible. We are all living vicariously through you, Paul!
Thank you you are getting me through a long day at work
It looked very comfortable! Thank you for the video!
We refer to Sod's Law as Murphy's Law on the other side of the pond.
You are really now my favourite airlines reviewer.
You are honest, not too much drama or too much positif, and clever enough to eat the local country airline cuisine. (And not annoying vegan)
I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
I was literally just thinking of ANA business class and then this gets uploaded🤔spooky 👻
Love the little bit of Sonic the Hedgehog music before takeoff 😆
And I think some Mario kart at about 15mins if I'm not mistaken!
Great informative video Paul, keep up the good work.
Was lucky to fly JAL first class San Francisco to Tokyo a few years ago and ate Japanese all the way! Thanks for another good trip review.
$1400 one-way from Singapore to NYC in ANA business class. That's the deal of the year.
I just love the face mist when it’s provided 😍
Quite an informative video.. Thanks for Sharing 👍
Keep up the amazing work 👏
Wow another video already! How time flies
Great video as always! Loved your music choices with Super Mario Land and Mario Kart 64.
What a great video: so detailed and informative.
I have always seen good reviews about ANA and its business class. I think the shower issue will be temporary as others have suggested in the comments. Sadly traveling to Asia is complicated right now so I don't have a reason to go. But ANA, Cathy, and Singapore are the airlines I want to try out! Thanks for the great review. Cheers
Well Paul, another excellent video. Looks like ANA is a superb airline.
Thanks again!
Outstanding business class product. Appeared very comfortable with a top notch menu. T3 looks as expected, quite the contrast to T1 or T2.
Skin gets very dehydrated in the air so it's there to help you get your glow back up!
Great vlog Paul and good to see a Japanese airline and yes if I was on this flight in first class I would definitely be trying the Japanese menu as can have the continental stuff anytime
Great flight, and also great food.
Great video once again thank You
My very first ride on a 777-300er was Haneda to JFK in Japan Airlines business class about 4 years ago. Very nice trip. Like with your experience on ANA, the food was superb, both in flavour and presentation.
Amazing!
Awesome video
No shower? Well remember the immortal words of Rene Descartes after a particularly strenuous hike through the Ardennes on a hot summer day: "Fetor, ergo sum." (I stink, therefore I am.)
Thank you Paul for a very thoughtful and well presented review of The Room! I’m hoping to use this service myself on a flight to Japan and your review is very useful indeed. Now, if I could just find those incredible deals on price....
Great trip report
Flawless face mist application :)
Just to say new subscriber…. Great (honest) video; really enjoyed it
Still 2020 in Japan.
The plane looks spotless. The lav is very clean
Nice review in spite of a few problems. Food spectacular. I've always said the foreign flag carriers offer superior service and cuisine.
And yes I get turbulence when coffee is served.
Thanks Paul😀💚
We have flown ANA business Heathrow to Sydney via Tokyo partly 'The Room! Recognise ANA lounge but less busy for our ten hours there. March 2022. Had a shower no problem 30 minute wait. Staff hanging around I call the bowing police. Constantly reminding me to straighten mask even though covered mouth and nose all times except drinking tea.Japanese excess deaths not all that great despite all this masking. They keep bowing then being fairly rude. I asked one of them to stop bowing as I am old man: I suggested they bow to the mothers with children. Makes old men feel too important. Room was as shown. We were told forcefully to always keep part of it open presumably so they could check on our masks. Problem was it was SO hot. I asked for help but reply 'What are we supposed to do about it?' Used fan brought with us. Our window OK but others same as yours. We dropped a pen under seat and one of staff very helpful finding it for us. On the whole flying is always horrible and this no exception BUT they got us there and back safe! For that ANA thanks. I think it would have been better if we spoke Japanese, they perhaps would have explained their mores better to us. We ate Western food which very average. It took us 20 odd hours out of Tokyo avoiding Ukraine. We were locked up in big room with toilet in Vienna while plane refuelled.
Great vlog and seat although I don't think I could handle flying backwards lol
First time subscriber after watching this video. Great dialog, love the camera work, perfect presentation. Your food choices are mine, no safe choices, I'll always try something different. The "face mist" (snort) 😜😝😂
Awesome vlog 👌👌👌👌
Josh Cahill does... The turbulence man lol 😂
great video as always but I will say, you're a brave man for trying seafood on an airplane...LOL. Huge props for that!
Great vlog as always! Like you I would have taken the japanese option. The older I get, the less meat I eat. But I am sucker for scarmble eggs with bacon any day. Lol! Looking forward to the next one. NYC is never boring. Be safe!
Love the Granturismo music clips 😊
Great Review
I ordered one of your tshirts and hope I get it before my Amtrak train trip across America !!! Wish you were going too!! Love your vids tons!!
Flown ANA business class many times from Canada to Thailand and its Japan menu is outstanding
This is a more interesting in-flight menu than I've seen in a while across many similar channels as yours. Looks like fun though.
0:11 "A long process, but efficiently run" pretty much sums up my experiences of Japan.
Hands down the best airline I have ever flown. I think I have mentioned before about my experience with the hostess sitting beside me and feeding me noodles with my chopsticks , and that was in economy ! I have only flown Sydney to Tokyo , Narita in those days , overnight at airport hotel compliments of ANA then onto JFK . Then return JFK to Sydney with a 3 hour layover in Narita. Amazing service , food and so clean you could eat your dinner from the floor.
I just flew CGK-NRT-JFK on JAL J - apex suites. It was great! I paid $1800 USD for the one way ticket. Based on your video the JAL lounge looked better and definitely had better food. I did manage a shower on my trip. Your seat looks superior to the Apex but Apex are also great. I slept well and really appreciate the extra feet space being 6'2". Service was great. The big highlight was my NRT-JFK "western" meal which was actually wagyu steak. It is the best steak I have had in the sky and better than many on the ground. I would happily fly JAL again but also want to try the room even more now!
Am I alone in looking at these business class meals and think no thanks ?
That's business class? Wow! Just... wow!
First, hey Paul love the videos!
Those are enormous TV's! I assume and hope they're safe enough in case of a crash.
11:45 Definitely the Japanese menu! When in Rome, right?
That crowding in the lounge is what happens when you let in priority pass holders.
Great review. Love watching your content. Was wondering were the pj provided as standard or did you personally ask for them?
this seat looks amazing, although I am not a big lover of fish, so not sure the Japanese menu would be for me, it would have been interesting to see what the Western menu would have been like. Maybe next time Paul. Great video as always 👍 👌 👏
We've been watching Japan and Taiwan closely over the last year waiting for positive signs travel between Thailand and the USA is back to normal. Sadly ANA and EVA airlines are not offering HNL service yet. It's tough flying to SFO or LAX and then flying back to HNL. Love your reviews and honest opinions.
Sat enjoying dominos watching this in my hotel before club world to la tomorrow. Not exactly on a par but great the world is open enough again to be able to do it.
Have a great flight!
@@Paul_Lucas thank you
Wow that food looked epic! For Sake I kinda agree, but try ones that mention fruity flavour
I’ve transited through Haneda many times and have never waited for a shower
Paul,
I love Japanese food, in fact, I make my own Sushi!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
ANA is my favorite airline and I have been unable to try "the room" business class. They fly 787-8 with regular business class where I am located. I guess I may have to fly to SFO or LAX to try the room for myself. I go with Japanese option and I always get a bowl of Ramen. Great video Paul
Looks amazing, what wonderful food and presentation, and if you don't need the Amenity kit and face mist, I certainly can make good use of it. 😊
Thank you for your airline review and for your humor.
By the way, fish (usually, grilled salmon) is served in a Japanese breakfast. For me, that's better than fried foods so early in the day.
Great review, Paul, and an incredible fare of 1400 USD for the complete SIN-HND-JFK trip in business class! I have always chosen the Japanese food option when flying JAL and it, too, has been quite amazing. I'd love to try out this ANA business product since the seating seems so much better than JAL's.
thank youuu
Did mechanics manage to fix your window blind in-flight? :)
At @17:21 both your windows are solidly closed!
That's what troubles me about the 787, the dimmer windows just never get dark enough!
Thanks for the great vid!
Hey Paul, absolutely love your videos, keep them coming mate.
I was just wondering, were the Japanese inspired meals predominantly sea food, or were there some other options?
Looks absolutely incredible, but what’s first like ? Thanks for sharing Paul
I''m considering flying ANA early next year. Whether I get the Western or Japanese meals would probably depend on where the flight originates. I don't see the catering in New York or LA doing as well as those in Tokyo regarding the Japanese options.
Good thinking!
Looking good.
Airport gave off early morning before the mall opens vibes.
Broken electric shade is why there should be at least some sort of physical window cover, even if it’s just an emergency backup the crew can stick on with tape.
Hi Paul, Thank you for the informative video footage. I like your channels. I can't wait for the next video report. Im your fan.
Im currently living in Japan
I would go for the Japanese Menu because I am full blood Japanese and love Japanese food and thank you for doing a Review On ANA! Arigatōgozaimashita
Cheers! Hopefully I’ll be in Japan once it’s fully reopened 🙏
@@Paul_Lucas well when you do Mr Paul can I get a Shout-out please?
I love your videos! But I wish you’d start by including your filming dates, so that viewers don’t have to wonder when the actual events took place. The video info is more meaningful when it’s given timeline context. Thanks!
Erm not sure if its just been added but check the description.
It’s in the heading, 16th May 2022.
I always put the flight date in the description text along with other data!
@@Paul_Lucas You did indeed! Thanks for pointing out. I missed it at first. Great job!
