Avoid This HUGE ANA The Room MISTAKE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2023
- ANA The Room is considered by some to be the world's best business class. In fact, it's more luxurious than even many first class international products! But one thing many people don’t realize is that when you fly ANA business class, not every seat is the same. And if you book the wrong type of seat, you’ll be paying the same high fare, but you’ll get an inferior experience. I'll show you how to avoid that mistake, and I'll bring you along as our family flies from JFK to Tokyo and back on ANA The Room!

Hey lady, really enjoyed how you put this together. The time and effort taken truly shines through. Your content is amazing and never boring. Happy to subscribe to your feed. Thanks for sharing and inspiring fabulous luxury travel content and your family are beautiful. Much blessings to you all! 💜🌹
I’m so glad you all are going to Tokyo, I’ve been waiting for this! ❤️
Thanks! Actually on this trip we flew into Indonesia but we’ll be back in Tokyo very soon 🤫
Hi Top Flight Family- I'm so glad to hear that you had an overall great experience with ANA's The Room. I'm biased to ANA mainly bc I usually fly it for work trips from Japan to other parts of Asia. When I travel home to the US, I usually fly United to Newark since my family lives in the Northern suburbs of NY but experiencing The Room would be worth the extra travel from JFK. Really enjoyed your flight review. Look forward to the rest of your upcoming Asia trips and trips in general.
Thanks for the review, flying in two days and very excited!
Hey top flight family!! I love your guys videos SO MUCH!! I am actually traveling to New York from Atlanta soon! I hope you have an amazing day.
This was great. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Hey what’s up Top Flight Family! Awesome to see you guys! Thank u 4 showcasing the ANA “The Room” product 4 us! It looked awesome, despite not getting hot towels in business class😖and a huge shout out to Sean 4 the bathroom tour! Shout out to Sean & Ella for being such awesome influencers🎉 Well once again thank you guys so much for all that u do 4 us and I look forward 2 that Asian trip u mentioned👍🏽 You guys be well, be safe and Cheers🫶🏽
Carmen, your hair is simply amazing. Let me start saving for this ANA flight, it looks amazing, and has me moving my travel plans around
Thank you for this video, I'm flying The Room in about a month and it was very nice to see an in-depth review of it!
In addition to the New York and Los angeles flights that offer the room, ANA also offer it on the London Heathrow - Tokyo Haneda route, I can't wait!! ❤
Oh that’s good to know! And so glad this video was valuable. Enjoy the flight! I’m sure you’ll love it 😀
@@TopFlightFamily Also on some, but not all, SFO to Tokyo flights. Just be careful when booking!
You have a lovely family. You are blessed. 😇
You guys are 1st class all the way. Love to watch your adventures ❤
Thanks so much! ❤️
I loved the bathroom tour!! You are the best, I'm still giggling❤️🤣❤️
Haha I loved that too. Next time we’ll have to have Ella do the bathroom tour!
Wow that's amazing... Lovely set up. Keep trucking you beautiful people 👍
Thank you! Will do!
hahaha I love the horror movie sound effect in the intro. loved the video, great content.
Yes, it’s ANA tradition that the staff line up and bow before proceeding to the check-in counter.
It was so cool! I wish we’d been able to film it but we weren’t expecting it and it was over before we found react lol
@@TopFlightFamily Very unique, isn’t it. By the way, I really enjoy watching your family’s adventurous vlogs. I wrote down the places that your family had afternoon tea in London. We are going to Europe and the UK for the first time this summer.
Actually JAL does this also
I think I like the old version of business class for the comfortable seat vs the new "The Room". Also with all the travelers it kind of feels the service is getting stretched now that many people are flying business class, probably with their virgin points as well as a crowded lounge. Nice video
Loved Sean's bathroom review!
Loved the bathroom tour! I am still laughing how she had to clarify about her bidet use 😂
“I didn’t poop” 😂
Awesome video 👍.... Adding ANA to our bucket list 👍
Have ANA booked this summer! But.... not the right one.... yet ;) So excited to see more of your adventures in Tokyo!!
I’m sure even in premium economy or economy it’s a great experience. The service is just so good!
@@TopFlightFamily Awesome! It looks like my husband and younger son are on ANA the room, but it's night time flight = no dinner service. Older son and I are on ANA business class, but not the room. I'm sure we'll manage with our first world problems!! We'll probably all try to end up on the nighttime flight on the ANA the room flight just to be together and arrive in the early am. I was super excited to see your video on it, as always!!
Very informative video, I'm actually flying on ANA Buisness Class in 2 weeks, I was thinking of swapping to a SQ flight, but I realised this was an experience to endure.
Yesss hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Looks so nice! I haven't flown business class yet, but this looks tempting. 🌺✈Heidi
Looks like comfy seats!!!! At least it’s better than economy !!!! The food looks yummy! Love your vlogs!
Great videos. Your family are pro travelers and look like a really tight knit group. 🙂
I'm really excited to try The Room. I believe it is sometimes offered on the LAX Tokyo routes (both NRT and HND) but not always. Also important to know is that the two LAX HND flights currently operating are both red-eye. This is super convenient for us as our family in Japan lives in Kyushu so we normally change planes same day at HND, but it does mean that the service is business is scaled back as most passengers sleep most of the way. This is also why I believe we get the older hard product most often on this particular route. Not a problem at all since we are sleeping but something to be aware of when booking.
Was also a bit surprised to see there wasn't a larger Star Alliance lounge at JFK. Perhaps it's in another terminal. At the end of the day I really only need a few specific things out of a lounge and nearly all of them provide that (e.g. a place to sit, electrical plug, warm food, and a clean bathroom) but it was interesting to see ANA operating it's own smaller lounge there.
Excellent advice and you have a beautiful family
thanks for sharing! Im going to book this flight. however when you mentioned about the sitting side by side with your companion on the E&F seats, are those all rear facing seats? im wanting seats for 3 all facing forward but also shoulder to shoulder in the middle for my daughter and i to have conversations. My son can have the window but we all need to face forward. Any tips for whcih row and seat number for 3 of us? Thanks!
Thank you! I originally booked H seat but changed to a K seat!
Oh yay!!!
True comments at the end of how ana lost some points in the luxury feel. This is why I would still put qsuite over the room, but still both are great products! Great review and thanks for the tips!
Excellent video. Lovely family. Thanks for sharing. Subscribing.
Love the video but was that the price for round trip? We’re planning a trip to Tokyo from JFK this July and that’s pretty much the price for one way.
I love watching your videos for a long time and first time I am commenting. Did u pay 2.600 $ for one way or round trip? Also how do you get cheaper prices? Thank you.. Love your little girls.
It's my first time trying to book anything business class with points. When I go on the ANA site its only giving me "Waitlisted" options for December.. Am I out of luck? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Please make a video about attractions, activities, food/restaurants, etc., while you were in Tokyo. Thank you.
Great vlog 🎉
Unfortunately I'm not seeing "the room" being offered on any of the flights from LAX to TYO within the next calendar year :{
OH! also, your husband I'm assuming is over 6 feet tall , when he layed down flat were the foot rest angled to the corner like how it is in singapore airlines? or is it extra width leg room for all where its not kiddy corner postioned? thanks for answering if you can.
How do you know when there’s a sale! Those price are not too bad.
Hi Top Flight Family. Do you home school your girls? What type of school program do your girls follow? Home schooling makes sense for flexibility to travel.
Promised my son a trip to Japan. Dreamed of going since I was a kid too. I'm very concerned about leg room. I'm 6'1 he'll be over 6'3 when we go in 2 years.
Is there anything that would work for 2 tall people flying that far? I can't have my legs curled up all night. Did that on a trip from Tacoma WA to Pismo Beach CA. On Amtrak.
Had to have quite a few massages to get comfortable again.Tall people problems.😂
Re: Broccoli Rabe- I know some cooking competition shows have done an Airline Food challenge where they've talked about why certain types of produce is used etc. It's a mix of how taste buds can change with altitude, which foods are easier to digest and storage/cooking. Broccoli Rabe and Broccolini hold up slightly better than broccoli florets and are kind of easier to heat in the plane ovens so they'll come out looking a bit more appetizing than regular old Broccoli. But I understand! It's also frustrating because it only takes like one additional step to make broccoli rabe/broccolini less bitter (like blanching it in stock or white wine first) but that almost never happens with mass-produced meals. Love your videos!!!😀 🥦
Ok this was fascinating! Also I had no idea about blanching removing the bitterness!
Didn't know that but thanks for the info! I love broccoli rabe on land so I am sure I'll like it in the air, LOL.
It's true that dessert options on Japanese airlines are limited but maybe that's owed to their eating culture that doesn't come with fancy desserts at all, it's usually a bowl of fruits even in the best restaurants. But in case of ANA, the Business Class snack menu makes totally up for it in my opinion.
Is the $2600 fare RT or OW? Thanks!
1:55 "I don't need this much space..". First time I've ever heard this on a plane...
I am going to Brussels so when I come back I can tell u where to go
I’m about to take this flight as well from New York to Tokyo. I’m very disappointed that you can’t get a front facing seat that’s directly next to the window. I’m disappointed it isn’t an A350.
$2.6k one-way or return fare?
How did the kids do with the meal selections? It’s a bit fancy for my little one, considering the kids menu when fly this fall.
They did fine! But then again my girls a) love Japanese food and b) are fairly adventurous eaters. Ella’s a little pickier than Sean, but she loves noodle soup so regardless of how much or little she liked the main meal, she was able to fill up on endless bowls of ramen 😂
Can also fly 777-300er from hnd/nrt to ORD
Sounds so simple yet I wonder why I could never find these award flights?
Morning TopFlight. Long time. Wow. Never even heard of this airline. Wow. Look at the size of the seats. 24 “tv. I don’t think I would change into pajamas anyway. 😂. Broccoli 🥦 rabe is awful. Agreed. The bitterness 🤦♀️. Ooh. The cheese plate please. So the bathroom is nice and clean but not that much bigger. Turndown service. Doors close. Anytime service. Cool 😎. Wow. This is business not even first class. Moist towel VS a moist wipe or less quality headphones /cheap cocktail napkins or menu quality was the $2680 price VS $6 - $10k 😂. Don’t think we’ll ever fly business or first class but thanks for showing how it’s done. Great vid as usual. Thanks for sharing and see you next Vlog.
Hi Cydney! Haha I don’t mind broccoli rabe but I do agree with Serge that it’s a little underrated 😅
@@TopFlightFamily George Bush ("H") absolutely hated broccoli.... God, help me... I have no life.
I agree with Serge.
I’m not a fan of broccoli rabe. I love broccoli, however.
make a vlog from Tokyo pls
It is available in San Francisco too.
JAL will be also introducing their clone of ANA The Room on their A350's soon. For Pajama's you have to ask the FA if they have any available because I have my cardigan from ANA during my business class on the 787 flight HNL to HND. I think the ramen they are using is from ippudo tonkotsu on the plane. The napkins are also made from recycled green tea leave waste to be biodegradable as they are part of the pledge to reduce their carbon footprint so that is why they also did a new 777 or 787 livery which is ANA GREEN to promote their minimizing of carbon footprint on the SFO route. Agree the headphones suck on ANA business class, I think JAL uses the Sony or Bose ones which are better.
Nice!
Very!
Ha ha ha "I didn't poop" 😂
Poor serge, the big feet life ain't easy😂😂
Is it better service out of the US or out of Japan or basically the same?
You know, usually catering out of the US is noticeably worse than vice versa, but with ANA I didn’t detect any difference! It was just as good both ways!
@Top Flight Family some airlines load the return meals on the outbound flight, which is probably because the destination's contract catering company aren't up to their standars
The Room Is World Best Business Class Thats My Opinion.Great Trip report
Thank you so much! It’s definitely one of the top ones. We’re so grateful to have experienced it!
these kids have no idea how privileged they are
they have the room for sfo to hnd too
Did you fly with Kara and Nate on this flight?! I think they took the same flight and they sat in the room too!!
Haha no it’s just a coincidence! But funny that two of our fave channels (K&N and Best Ever Food Review Show) came out with an ANA video this same week!
Can't believe you paid only $2k plus for biz class from JFK. That's usually for discounted premium economy. Good deal!
11:53 Hi @topflightfamily! New subscriber here! You mentioned in the video u heard about that ANA deal, where u paid 2K+, when flights normally cost 5K to 10K. What do u suggest, how I can find out about ANA deals? THANK YOU!
$2.6K for a business class fare on ANA is an awesome deal. Been eyeing this same product on points for a future trip to Japan.
What service do you use to get alerted on deals like these?
Great review by the way, we'll be sure not to make the mistake 😎
The thumbnail is showing the suite not the room
No Airline is able of beating the Qatar QSuites flying experience. Maybe in the future 😊
I agree with Serg. Hate broccoli rabe. Totally sucks. Way too bitter
I don't get why SEA > HND is 7k - 10k. Their Delta One "Suites" seat is barely wider than economy seats, bathroom is identical to economy, and food is meh. Super dry and over done filet mignon anyone? But I keep paying for it because economy is so much worse. I hope we get "The Room" some day.
The seats are massive 😂
Right?! 😂 Especially for the girls. Absurdly wide!
Your video just brought me to the decision to fly ANA business class to Australia via Singapore leaving San Francisco in November. I’m treating my family, and I felt like Qatar’s product just might be overrated. But I’m still struggling with wanting to take Singapore Airlines. You guys do a fantastic job, and have a beautiful family. Thank you for your work!
A and K are backward facing and it may give you motion sickness
True, but I’ve found that apart from takeoff and landing, you barely notice the difference! If you’re super sensitive though, maybe avoid it.
Ngl I feel like this business class makes the first class not worth it 😅
gate lice?
😀 See here: www.the-sun.com/travel/7737465/flight-attendant-hate-gate-lice/amp/
@@TopFlightFamily ah. 🤣🤣🤣 I see. Thank you.
😮 Over $2000 PERPERSON!?!
Economy costs more than $2000 on average.
FIRST!!
Yayyyy!
Ana is an amazing airline
pls do not say things like this
Why the click bait……like your videos but really!
What click bait?! The video content matches the title.
@Grazie - I was looking for "click bait", too - video is exactly as advertised. Chap6595 is a troll.
