I love ANA business class. I absolutely understand your thoughts on the Japanese experience and style, and I love it. Its weirdly dated and modern at the same time. It is the only airline that has ever acknowledged a birthday when we were flying (my husband's) and provided a small cake, lovely handwritten note from the crew, and several swag items - including an small inflatable ANA plane that I keep on my desk to this day.
I recently flew ANA business from Syd to Haneda and back. Sure it has an understated elegance but the service, food, staff and flat beds were incredible. No pretentiousness whatsoever. Service wise I thought better than Emirates. Flying again from Syd to london - retuning london, Haneda for two weeks then Syd in August 24. Can’t wait. Thanks for the review Dan, your review is what made me fly them above Emirates and Qantas! Keep up the fab work as always ❤️
I flew ANA first in the suite from SFO to NRT in August and it was the most incredible flight of my life. Everything about the flight was just phenomenal. Incredible food and whiskey. The best service I could possibly imagine. The strangest thing that made the flight feel so special was that I was the only passenger in First, so for the entire flight it was just me and the flight attendant. It felt like I was the only one on the plane. Plus the incredible thing was the fast pass they gave me to get through immigration. The plane landed a few mins early and I was through, got my bag, and on the express into Tokyo by the time my flight had been scheduled to land. It was really something special.
Flew their business class from Narita to JFK a few years ago. Got a window seat in a section that only had ONE row, almost felt like a private flight! FA was super welcoming (she spoke good English but me speaking fluid Japanese also helped I suppose) and the food was amazing. I also got a handwritten card with the cabin crews signatures for my birthday that was A FEW DAYS BEFORE the flight. Such an amazing experience!
Almost flying with ANA exclusively for the past 8 years (except 3 years COVID) for my trip back to China & always do layover in Japan. Even if their staggered seats of 77W/789 are quite old, their service are top notch & extremely consistent. Do look forward to fly with their new "the Room" business class
I love your comment about feeling totally secure and safe on an ANA flight. I’ve flown them a lot and I feel exactly the same. I just know you’re going to get a pleasant, happy experience and I don’t care if they are slightly dated in the seat or tech. I LOVE ANA
I love ANA business! It is great, and different in the best ways. really appreciate you saying you were "over business class lounges" could not agree more. Packed, and zero value outside of the free food, which is small H hit or usually a big miss. In good airports, there is way more going on in the terminal. That said, the ANA Lounge beer machines are my secret love, and I love that you captured a guy screwing it up @ 10:55. Wait for the drip folks, wait for the drip.
I'll be flying in ANA's business class from JFK to Haneda in "the Room". I'm super excited. I love flying Business Class and can't wait to enjoy all that fresh Japanese food, the lounges or the final destination: Bali.
FYI, there are two lay outs for the long haul 787-9. One has 11 rows and the other has 13 rows. Seat 9A doesn't exist in the latter configuration. The seat number in that row is 9C and this is an aisle seat. 9K is a good choice in this 787-9 lay out as this is a window seat next to the engine as I understand. Just booked a flight on NH 218 from Munich to Tokyo and chose this seat.
I love your videos, thank you. A little suggestion: You might want to consider to insert 4-5 seconds black at the end, as the watcher can like your video before another video automatically starts. To realize that the video is over, to switch from fullscreen to normal and then clicking the like button, takes a few seconds. You might get some more viewers to click that like button, if you give them the chance to. ;)
ANA is a strong contender for my favourite J product. So long as you get a true window seat, (or a throne on the 787-8) the staggered layout is very comfortable and private. ANA service has always been both typically polite for Japan but also warmer and more personable than on JL in my opinion.
I think taking an ANA flight gives me the same comfort and safety as when I take a SAS flight. Hard to describe it, the air in the cabin is so….serene. Since I’m Japanese, I get more excited by SAS, though!
Back in the 90s, ANA used to have these exquisite flower petal flavored candies. They were available in plane and on your pillow in their hotels. I wish they'd still have that
Do you know why I love ANA? Everything works with them! In a few weeks I’m flying their new Premium Economy from IAD - NRT - BKK on two B789’s. I can’t wait!!!
I think I like this older version of business class, for me it feels a bit more comfortable compared to the new "Room" seating. Also with all the travelers I feel ANA service is a bit overwhelmed with all the frequent flyer travelers as I notice airport lounges are getting much more congested in Tokyo and business class is becoming a new norm. However, ANA is still one of my top airlines next to JAL. Thanks for the nice video.
We have taken ANA to Japan several times in business class and it is without a doubt our favorite airline. The service, crew, seat wow, anything you want anytime. Once we took my daughter with us to Tokyo and during the flight, we had bad turbulence, and my daughter was scared and crying but two flight attendants stayed with her which was so great since she was in a window seat. Funny we stay at the Royal Park Hotel in Tokyo and absolutely love it. Great video.
Ah for anyone wanting to stay overnight at Haneda I recently stayed at the Villa Fontaine Premier (not quite in the terminal but in the attached Haneda Airport Garden shopping centre which is connected via a walkway - no going outside! Probably 5 minutes walk from arrivals) and it's far superior to the Royal Park and I think it was a similar price when I stayed
I was in HND's ANA lounge last September. Such a good experience after a long flight from Chicago (I flew on JL in Economy, and I befriended a couple passengers during my 8-hour layover there whom happened to have an extra admission for the lounge available). Much-needed shower in one of their fully-equipped bathrooms, as much beer as I wanted, and a place to let the time go by until my next flight to Bangkok.
I always really appreciate your reviews because it's sooo hard to find reviews with vegan food in them and I never know what to expect as a mostly plant-based eater T_T I can't find anywhere on ANA's site whether you're basically served the same food in business as econ for special meals :c
Congrats on 757K Subscribers!!! We love you Dan! Finally a aircraft number am I right? Anyway keep up the fantastic work and can’t wait to see you review my favorite Airline, Swiss.
As a Swiss Citizen I can’t agree more so don’t even worry about it 😂. But I also wanted to thank you for inspiration because I just started a TH-cam channel about my United Polaris flights to Zurich which are in my opinion a fantastic seat but the Service and food is absolutely atrocious. Thanks again
Always great to see you and hear your view,particularly about an Irvine I know little about. It looks fun & it's also dun to catch Oskar's cameo. The food looked good and that view of Mt Fuji. As ever wishing you&yours very best wishes❤️💯👏👏👏💙💙👌💥👊👋⭐️'s💯✌️
I always fly ANA business class on my trips from Tokyo to San Francisco. It's the best! I just wish sometimes the plane wouldn't land and just fly in circles for 10 hours.😂
You may already know but Delta Airline Amex Gold card members are the only ones barred from any airport lounges. I've been a cardholder for over 50 yrs. and yet I am not allowed into any Delta lounges.
By the way, almost all the soft products are the same for Economy - except for the food-. I'm glad you enjoyed ANA you should review them more. Love your videos. Bye from Japan!
You should fly on Turkish Airlines brand new business class suite service form jfk to istambul. But I don't know if they added the new business class yet.
ANA is truly a different experience for me.. it was a flight full of culinary delights and a flight where I thought I was going to die 😢😂 but here I am alive, and excited to board on one this fall 🎉🎉🎉
Quite interesting, I didn't realize the seats on the 787-8 and -9 were so different. I hadn't flown ANA business for quite a few years until May this year. It was a 797-9 MNL-HND and I hated it, I actually wrote about their substandard business class seat they've installed for low yield intra-Asia routes. Well seems from your video that your SYD flight was exactly the same craptastic seat. I despise a seat that doesn't have independent seat bottom and leg rest controls from the seat back. That ANA 797-9 seat is either up or down, and some random point between for lounging that some engineer decided was comfortable. There's no customization at all. After seeing your video I realized all of my previous flights had been on the 787-8 or 777-300ER and the seat is much more customizable. I actually told ANA the 787-9 seat feels like an LCC business class seat.
Thank you again for sharing your experience flying 1st class on ANA. The Japanese culture is so engrained in the service you receive on board. This is valuable information because my friend and I are planning a trip from LA to Bali and ANA was one of the carriers of choice for the Transpacific leg which included a 5 day stay in Japan visiting Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.

That ramen is soooooooooo good! Thanks for the great review!
I'm flying from Frankfurt to Haneda next month using ANA. (Although in peasant class) I can't wait.
I flew ANA's business class on a business trip to Japan from London. It was just ASTOUNDING
Thanks NonstopDan for the awesome video as always :)
The punctuality mind effs me. wish it was stressed more in the US ❤ the video.

@Carolyne_games Fluent Japanese not fluid.
I think your commentary is explementary, my go-to videos.

ANA is an amazing airline. I flew on it back in April and it was the first time I watched an anime on a plane!
ANA biz class is great! Flown it many times
I’m a new subscriber and it hurts me every time you don’t choose the champagne 😭😭😂
Maybe he isn’t a champagne guy yk
I love your comment about feeling totally secure and safe on an ANA flight. I’ve flown them a lot and I feel exactly the same. I just know you’re going to get a pleasant, happy experience and I don’t care if they are slightly dated in the seat or tech. I LOVE ANA
i love the production value of these videos
That flight looked great!!
Glad that you had a great time!
Definitely bucket list. Great review as ever!

I went to Lake Kawaguchi under Mt Fuji on May 24. We took the photo of Mt Fuji on the same day!!! I almost see myself at 13:14 🤣
I'll be flying in ANA's business class from JFK to Haneda in "the Room".
I'm super excited. I love flying Business Class and can't wait to enjoy all that fresh Japanese food, the lounges or the final destination: Bali.
Guam person here who loves your channel! So surprised to see it featured here, even though it’s typhoon related 😂

Living in Japan Im happily "forced" to choose between ANA and JAL for my flights back to the US. For me ANA is superior.

I flew the suite and the room and it literally blew me away. Best experience of my life
Love ANA! Seriously they are so consistent which is so important when flying.
(4:11) Now you almost have a million. Great job, Dan!
Looking very nice. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Flown them several times to/from Tokyo. Slept most of the time, which is a plus for me.

Had a chance to fly ANA “the room” a couple of weeks ago for 14$ with points. It was amazing!
I think taking an ANA flight gives me the same comfort and safety as when I take a SAS flight. Hard to describe it, the air in the cabin is so….serene. Since I’m Japanese, I get more excited by SAS, though!
I flew ANA economy class for the first time in my life and it is the best flying experience I ever have.
Love your videos Dan! You inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel! ❤❤
Hello Dan, I've just discovered your you tube and I've been watching them one by one, I love them
Back in the 90s, ANA used to have these exquisite flower petal flavored candies. They were available in plane and on your pillow in their hotels. I wish they'd still have that
Do you know why I love ANA? Everything works with them! In a few weeks I’m flying their new Premium Economy from IAD - NRT - BKK on two B789’s. I can’t wait!!!
Amazing Video Dan!
got to try this seat out on a flight from manila to tokyo. i loved every second of the flight and the flight attendants were very kind as well.
I love ANA even though I’m at economy class everything is 🫶♥️ and I agree with you, you will never get hungry with ANA. It’s everything 🫡
Love ANA! You should always ask for the Japanese menu on their flights, excellent food.
I flew ANA economy and the experience was really good! Good food. Really attentive staff. Top Notch.
I think I like this older version of business class, for me it feels a bit more comfortable compared to the new "Room" seating. Also with all the travelers I feel ANA service is a bit overwhelmed with all the frequent flyer travelers as I notice airport lounges are getting much more congested in Tokyo and business class is becoming a new norm. However, ANA is still one of my top airlines next to JAL. Thanks for the nice video.
Yay! I LOVE ANA biz!!!
Just curious, can you do a comparison of skytrax 5 star rated airlines and rank them?
and maybe review some more economy classes!
We have taken ANA to Japan several times in business class and it is without a doubt our favorite airline. The service, crew, seat wow, anything you want anytime. Once we took my daughter with us to Tokyo and during the flight, we had bad turbulence, and my daughter was scared and crying but two flight attendants stayed with her which was so great since she was in a window seat. Funny we stay at the Royal Park Hotel in Tokyo and absolutely love it. Great video.
Sometimes I dream about that Vegetarian ramen... on my most recent flight i skipped the meal service and had the ramen twice.
❤️ ANA Business. Much better than JAL. Very Japanese - of course - but with superior customer care.
the handwritten note at the end would keep me flying with ANA. Gotta love Japanese culture =)
Ah for anyone wanting to stay overnight at Haneda I recently stayed at the Villa Fontaine Premier (not quite in the terminal but in the attached Haneda Airport Garden shopping centre which is connected via a walkway - no going outside! Probably 5 minutes walk from arrivals) and it's far superior to the Royal Park and I think it was a similar price when I stayed
Thnx for the video. I’ll be flying ANA biz for the first time in Nov looking forward to it
Just come across this channel. Love your content, man.
I was in HND's ANA lounge last September. Such a good experience after a long flight from Chicago (I flew on JL in Economy, and I befriended a couple passengers during my 8-hour layover there whom happened to have an extra admission for the lounge available). Much-needed shower in one of their fully-equipped bathrooms, as much beer as I wanted, and a place to let the time go by until my next flight to Bangkok.
Entertaining Video as always 💥
Watching this at 757K subscribers 😂… congratulations man 🎉
I always really appreciate your reviews because it's sooo hard to find reviews with vegan food in them and I never know what to expect as a mostly plant-based eater T_T I can't find anywhere on ANA's site whether you're basically served the same food in business as econ for special meals :c
Es un lujo que no todos podemos disfrutar, pero aún así lo que me muestras me encanta. Gracias.
Congrats on 757K Subscribers!!! We love you Dan! Finally a aircraft number am I right? Anyway keep up the fantastic work and can’t wait to see you review my favorite Airline, Swiss.
Yes indeed! Thank you so much🙌 Don't be disappointed if I ever criticize Swiss, it's nothing personal toward Switzerland or Swiss people😂
As a Swiss Citizen I can’t agree more so don’t even worry about it 😂. But I also wanted to thank you for inspiration because I just started a TH-cam channel about my United Polaris flights to Zurich which are in my opinion a fantastic seat but the Service and food is absolutely atrocious. Thanks again
@@NonstopDanI do hope that our service and business class product will impress you and hopefully put Swiss into the Likes Category! 🤞
Always great to see you and hear your view,particularly about an Irvine I know little about. It looks fun & it's also dun to catch Oskar's cameo.
The food looked good and that view of Mt Fuji.
As ever wishing you&yours very best wishes❤️💯👏👏👏💙💙👌💥👊👋⭐️'s💯✌️
I always fly ANA business class on my trips from Tokyo to San Francisco. It's the best! I just wish sometimes the plane wouldn't land and just fly in circles for 10 hours.😂
I’d love it if y’all try zipair. I’m considering using them for my trip to Japan next year. Keep up the fire content bro.
How does one find award availability for business class flights with ANA though :/ . Nobody ever says how hard it is to book
You may already know but Delta Airline Amex Gold card members are the only ones barred from any airport lounges. I've been a cardholder for over 50 yrs. and yet I am not allowed into any Delta lounges.
Its hard to believe you would have passed almost directly above my house for this flight
Thank You for this video dan! :) Im torn between ANA and JAL, both seem like fantastic airlines
By the way, almost all the soft products are the same for Economy - except for the food-. I'm glad you enjoyed ANA you should review them more. Love your videos. Bye from Japan!
I love ANA SM
Could you do a video of the pros and cons of buying miles from carrier vs points
You should fly on Turkish Airlines brand new business class suite service form jfk to istambul. But I don't know if they added the new business class yet.
I just came back from a flight with SAS from Haneda to Copenhagen in business class and we were in the ANA lounge and at gate 145
What a lovely flight experience.
what a banger 🎉
the colours make it feel / look like a hospital.
ANA is truly a different experience for me.. it was a flight full of culinary delights and a flight where I thought I was going to die 😢😂 but here I am alive, and excited to board on one this fall 🎉🎉🎉
I work at the check-in counters here in Sydney and I must say I laughed so hard seeing my coworkers 😂😂😂 wish I was there
I’d appreciate if you try TAP, it’s my home country airline
Im looking forward to trying out ANA in the future. Although I will say there customer service over the phone has a lot to be desired
Quite interesting, I didn't realize the seats on the 787-8 and -9 were so different. I hadn't flown ANA business for quite a few years until May this year.

Nice video. I'd love to fly on ANA just to experience it. I booked lounge access for a client flying LHR-HND recently.
Nice I love it when Dan uploads a new video I mean the country’s we are from are neighbors he is half Swedish and I am full Norwegian
Just a regular question, how many flights do you take yearly now that you don't record every flight? Love you content man
I love your vids man ceep gowing ❤
I'd like to see a few more videos about the cheap seats, as that's more relevant to the bulk of us.
ANA is great!

Do the inferior aisle seats come at a discount to the more private window seats? Conversely, can you secure the window seats by paying a premium?
Hi Dan! Could you pllsssss review the Asians Airlines Business Suite? Much appreciated
Lovely ❤
You are so humble Dan. I love your videos. Lots of ❤ 💕 💙 from 🇨🇦
Hi Dan, never been this early lol. Have a nice day
How did you buy the miles at a discount?
Where do you find the mileage sales?
Hey, was this filmed in late May? If yes, I was in the Philippines when the typhoon hit Guam
Great review Dan, ANA is my favorite airline and I'm flying that exact flight NH861 HND-GMP in seat 7A on the 788 in 2 weeks! Thats crazy!
This video took beginning of June? I took ANA from Singapore to Tokyo around same time and the plane avoided a typhoon and flew over Taiwan.
How did you find last minute syd to hnd availability? Ana availability doesn’t seem to appear for me on air Canada search engine
Dan is back
