Good to know this information, heading to Tokyo for a week in April on this exact route, and it looks like ill be in for an overall enjoyable experience.
The excellent service provided by ANA definitely makes this long flight much more tolerable, Enjoy Japan, April is one of the best months to go. Safe Travels!!
Excellent, enjoy and don't make the same mistake we did, not realizing until close to the end of the flight that the bulkhead seat footrest has the extra extension. Safe Travels!
Great info! As much as people say that Asian carriers are so much better than US/EU airlines, I was shocked that UA's offering is so much better: amenity kit, two hot meals and midflight packaged snacks (plus a hot sandwich on longer flights like this). The bathroom you showed was out of Kleenex and almost out of toilet paper. I'm really surprised they let it get this bare. Overall, I love their crewmembers though! You get the same treatment everywhere across Jaoan.
Thanks for the comment, it's funny as we were deciding between ANA and UA for this flight and the points that you brought up were part of our decision process, but for us what it came down was... what was more important for us between better meals and amenity kits on the flight or the Lounges; and the Lounges won., Since we had late night flights on a multi City ticket we were able to enjoy the food, drinks and showers in a couple of different ANA business lounges. Next time we might try UA PE just to compare. About the bathrooms--Our flight was full and at that moment the bathroom needed a little attention but on my next trip to the restroom it was clean and fully stocked, I'll give them a pass on this one. And yes service seems to always be top notch!
I was flying the same route same PE class and on the same 777ER. They actually had individual air vents. You probably missed it because it's on a different row than the reading lamp.
Thank you, Yes just the snack box before landing ( sandwich, cookies and banana ) pretty much the food mentioned in the menu we received before dinner, so basically the Dinner, a Danish, Soup and Snack box as well as additional snacks that were provided upon request as well a snacks available in the kitchen, As I had mentioned in the video this was part of our decision process when deciding between United and ANA for similar flights as United provides a higher level of food for their PE passengers on this route.
Hello, fortunately the cabin was kept quite comfortable on this flight, I usually carry an inexpensive portable USB fan just in case but didn't need to use it on this flight. Safe Travels!
Hello, We were kind of hoping we would but according to the ANA website *These are the routes where Pikachu Jet NH and Eevee Jet NH have a possibility to be in service. In the event of operational irregularities, the aircraft may be put into service on routes other than those listed below. *The flight schedule is subject to change depending on the operation situation, and will not be confirmed until the day of the flight. Thank you for your understanding.
Totally get that-NY can be a hassle with traffic, lines, and delays. But it does offer tons of flights, decent lounges, and TSA PreCheck helps with security. But if you’re near a less hectic, cheaper hub, then that might be your best option

Thanks! I'm actually flying to Tokyo in a couple of months and have the same seat!

Thanks, we could have definitely missed them. I believe ANA has 2 or 3 versions on the 777ER, I wonder if all versions are outfitted the same.
hi sir, thank you for your good review of NH PEY. I just want to ask you, before you landing at TYO, you didn't get meal service? just that snack box?
Thank you, Yes just the snack box before landing ( sandwich, cookies and banana ) pretty much the food mentioned in the menu we received before dinner, so basically the Dinner, a Danish, Soup and Snack box as well as additional snacks that were provided upon request as well a snacks available in the kitchen,

So it wasn't too hot without the vents?

Do you happen to know why you didn't get to fly on the Pokemon Eevee Jet? I thought this was the flight!

For a major Japanese carrier their food is very disappointing. Only one meal, I’d rather fly with JAL.
Hi, Yeah we really enjoy flying JAL, even their economy class, but our best options for this particular trip (with miles or $$) were either UA or ANA
I avoid NY for flying!
