I flew with a premium economy from cgk-hnd and vice versa. It was great, with a fantastic crew and lounge. It is one of my absolute favourite airlines and my favourite cabin crew.
Always enjoy your videos. Agree about the lounge, it surprises me as usually the Japanese excel at tasteful, elegant decor. They also have a sense of fun in their products. Beautiful take off views. Your meal looked delicious as did the Japanese food. Greenland looked stunning. Nice video as always. Thanks.
Sam is living the dream of every avgeek right now. Nice work, Sam! P.S. From my point of view, it would be very interesting to know Sam's life outside of aviation.
I remember, about 40 years ago, you could not fly such a long distance on a two engine jet. The technology wasn’t there. In fact, a lot of times you had to have a stop over. It’s amazing that, nowadays, you can fly 15+ hours nonstop on a two engine jet such as the 777. Talk about advancement in aviation.
Yep probably one of the best advancement in recent years.. The new generation of twin jets setup consumes much lesser fuel too, so it translates to a lot more savings for the airlines.
It was called ETOPS: an acronym for Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards (AKA Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim)-a special part of flight rules for one-engine-inoperative flight conditions. Basically, it was "how far can this plane fly on one engine". ETOPS 180 means it can fly 180 minutes with a single engine (first allowed with the B777), means pretty much anywhere except across parts of the Pacific.
Sam Welcome back to Tokyo!! I’m so glad I hope You have a chance a boarding Pokémon jet next time Japanese is always waiting your visit Thanks for your lovely video from Tokyo Japan✈️
Great work Sam! Another excellent vlog! Been following you for several years now and great to see someone smash RUclips from literally a video of a few photos to the high level production that you produce now! Well done!!!!
ANA my favorite airline. I flown them many times. I love their business class “the room”. Just booked today roundtrip to SFO from Manila for October. Taking wife and daughter back to US. I booked business class because of them large seats, so my wife and daughter can sleep laying down.
Very nice video. I got so hangry when I saw the first class meals 😂 I’ll be looking forward to see your flight review on the debut flight of Japan Airline’s A350-1000 HND-JFK ❤
My first flight to Japan was to Kansai Airport. Just one hour before we landed a earthquake occurred, meaning that the airport was fully functioning, the road to the mainland was OK, but the city was on fire, due to several gas leaks. I never forget the determination of the Japanese people to get there systems back online.
I always look forward to watching your videos and downloading my favorite ones. However, you forgot to list the video’s soothing background music selection. I’m sure some of your video followers like me would like that added to the full experience. Thank you so much!
Well Sam, 3 years ago when you flow this same route on the same airline you flown on the business class "the room", and at the end you said Next time you Will be flying first class "the suite". I think you were right...
There is nothing makes me happy than watching you Sam wonderful is not enough word helpful information are found in your all flight attainedCoo Sam thank you wish one day I could fly with you just to fill and see how it fills to see wow
I flew on the Pikachu jet today, Business Class from Tokyo to New Delhi. They gave us a Pokémon boarding pass and a wooden tag with Pikachu wearing a captains hat. It was really cool. And ANA has amazing service.
I have used ANA thrice and l believe the cabins are truly clean and everything is done efficiently. I agree with you on ANA doesn’t have the over the top stuff. One thing though generally ANA is a little pricey compared to most of the major airlines
I love Ana!!I flew back to America on the stars livery after the flight they gave me a Ana card for the flight it’s the little things they do to make the flight amazing!!
ANA is my favorite airline, flown them a bunch of times in business class, want to try first class. Thanks Sam for showcasing my favorite airline. There are 2 ANA Dreamliners at PAE hopefully deliver soon.
Hi Sam. Finnair flew non stop flights from Helsinki to Tokyo during the cold war. Dc-10 with extra fuel tanks. It was only airline who do that that time.
This is the best review of The Suite thus far on RUclips! I am flying JFK > HND The Suite in February of 2024 and I have really benefitted from your video.
Great little video Sam! Especially enjoyed the food prep part of the video. Very interesting and delicious I'm sure! Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy them!!
Another good one Sam! ANA and the trans polar route are not options I’d previously considered for getting across to my family down under - but I shall now. Nice soundtrack again. Torii Wolf = great synth
When I flew to Tokyo in 1975 first stop was Anchorage in Alaska, then on to Tokyo. The time difference was a strange to me, at 21 years of age it was my first long distance flight, I was joining a ship in Moji. We left London at 1600hrs arrived in Anchorage at 14hrs, then shortly after leaving Anchorage we crossed the date line.
Sam another top quality presentation! Your videography on the takeoff from HND is iconic! The view of Tokyo with the glimpse of Mt. Fuji made my week!! Thank you for your continuing excellence!
Excellent video (as always) - top notch presentation, production and editing. I love flying ANA - usually in business class (The Room, lately), but I am still nostalgic for the ANA luxury of 15-20 years ago (my wife and I flew ANA First Class NY to Bangkok with a stopover in Tokyo for our first honeymoon trip). That world class luxury (13 set menus to choose from, and a wine cellar worth a couple of Michelin stars on its own) has unfortunately been dialed down somewhat (on all counts). I still rank ANA Business class products as my favorite and top 3-4 (with Air China, Etihad and Emirates) in the world (yes, Air China is outstanding, even though no one talks about them), but I do miss the old super luxurious First Class product and service. Oh well...
Haven't flew first class and been to thro lounge since covid, look like their lounge has been revamped and refreshed, looking forward to my trip In April
Another terrific video Sam. ANA is a great airline, I wish they flew to Montreal ! Wow that food looked good and the cabin crew is so friendly. Too bad you didn't get to fly on the new Pokemon 777 ; it looks cool ! Maybe try again; first class is nice on a 14 hour flight but I read and sleep in economy plus so I probably would not pay for the extra.
ANA hands down serves the best in flight meals for Asian flights! In every class. Unbeatable ❤ & I mean, just how thoughtful and creative can the Japanese be? Pokémon flight 😂
Hey Sam this was a nice video. The Pokémon plane ✈️ was really cool to see. I think planes ✈️ that are painted with certain themes really look nice. 👍🏽
Can I ask - did you pay for this particular trip yourself? Did the company endorsed in any way your video apart from the invitation to the ceremony? Did they pay for your hotel stay?
I'm Japanese, and thank you very much for introducing one of my favorite Japanese airlines💗
Yea that livery looks sick
I flew economy from Sydney to Dubai in 2015 it was the best flight ever
I have travelled with ana love it. Which one do you prefer jal or ana? Jal is much more expésive than ana
@@rafaelodossantos4210 Been on both, I honestly enjoy ANA more but maybe because I fly ANA more than JAL
I’ve traveled on a ANA 747-400D once and it was very big of a cabin
I flew with a premium economy from cgk-hnd and vice versa. It was great, with a fantastic crew and lounge. It is one of my absolute favourite airlines and my favourite cabin crew.
❤ from indonesia
It's cute to see these Pokemon jets!! Bringing back the memories of the ANA Pokemon 747!! 🤩
Indeed, I also flew on Pokemon 747-400 JA8962 in 2001! Time flies!
That 777, while not being the Pokémon jet, still looks really nice. Sam, I have always enjoyed your videos.
Glad you like them!
@@SamChuihi
The flight crew always seem to be happy. Great video.
They're courteous, I notice their devotion to service and take their job seriously. +1 for the ANA passengers.
Thanks Sam Chui for this lovely review, I really appreciate your time
Always enjoy your videos. Agree about the lounge, it surprises me as usually the Japanese excel at tasteful, elegant decor. They also have a sense of fun in their products.
Beautiful take off views.
Your meal looked delicious as did the Japanese food.
Greenland looked stunning. Nice video as always. Thanks.
ANA has never been known for great lounges. It's not something they do well.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for this nice Video🥰 I saw this flight rout for the first time. Greetings from Switzerland
Loving that Japanese hospitality! Fantastic! Thank You Sam!
Hello Sam
I'm glad you to board ANA！
Thankyou from Japan🇯🇵
Sam is living the dream of every avgeek right now. Nice work, Sam!
P.S. From my point of view, it would be very interesting to know Sam's life outside of aviation.
Great video sam! I love all the ana and the japanese airlines liverys on the plane! My favorite is Star Wars!
Me too!
ANAther great video. Thanks Sam!

It’s amazing that, nowadays, you can fly 15+ hours nonstop on a two engine jet such as the 777. Talk about advancement in aviation.
The 777-200 long range in the early 2000s permitted the NY to HK direct route.
Yep probably one of the best advancement in recent years.. The new generation of twin jets setup consumes much lesser fuel too, so it translates to a lot more savings for the airlines.

For sure, thx
Sam Welcome back to Tokyo!! I’m so glad I hope You have a chance a boarding Pokémon jet next time Japanese is always waiting your visit Thanks for your lovely video from Tokyo Japan✈️
the Jet finally came to london Yesterday 01/09/2023 and it was such an amazing livery to see and great video
Yes indeed, one day after it was scheduled. Nevertheless, safety first and it should be a frequent visitor to LHR.
gold experience, service de luxe, many courteos complimentary gift. customer oriented airline. good review- Mr Sam Chui. Great works..
Thank you for another great video of your flight. Really enjoyed it.
Great work Sam! Another excellent vlog! Been following you for several years now and great to see someone smash RUclips from literally a video of a few photos to the high level production that you produce now! Well done!!!!
I love the ANA signature drink, Aromatic Kabosu
ANA my favorite airline. I flown them many times. I love their business class “the room”. Just booked today roundtrip to SFO from Manila for October. Taking wife and daughter back to US. I booked business class because of them large seats, so my wife and daughter can sleep laying down.
Cool vid Sam!
i was there to spot the livery but was very disappointed to see the normal ANA livery come out of the clouds
Sorry to bring the disappointment. The Poekmon livery actually flew to London the next day, landed on 27L
Cheerful stewardess when you entered the plane. She deserves a compliment for her attitude!
Very nice video. I got so hangry when I saw the first class meals 😂
I’ll be looking forward to see your flight review on the debut flight of Japan Airline’s A350-1000 HND-JFK ❤

I never forget the determination of the Japanese people to get there systems back online.
I was apart of the ground team that offloaded your flight at LHR! :D
Great video, Sam! Loved the insights into the ANA Pokémon Jet and the First Class experience. Your perspective always adds so much value! 👏
I love those ANA cabins modern and chic. And the food is just top notch!
Thank you for all of the videos always make me entertained.
I always look forward to watching your videos and downloading my favorite ones. However, you forgot to list the video’s soothing background music selection. I’m sure some of your video followers like me would like that added to the full experience. Thank you so much!
Great video!!
And i recomend you High Flyer Reviews
That 777 is so cool looking I want to fly on that one day.😊😊😊❤❤ great video Sam. Sorry y’all had to take the regular ANA 777.
Living in Japan for decades, I feel JAL first class is my favorite, very close to ANA. Big fan Sam. Thanks for the video.
Sam is always and forever GOAT of airline vloggers!!
I love Sam and all his videos... "Salurd" ✈
Well Sam, 3 years ago when you flow this same route on the same airline you flown on the business class "the room", and at the end you said Next time you Will be flying first class "the suite". I think you were right...
Thanks for remembering this. Indeed, I am glad to made this after 3 years.

I’ve never seen that how to prepared first class meal, I always wanted to know that now I noticed thank you so much!
I flew on the Pikachu jet today, Business Class from Tokyo to New Delhi. They gave us a Pokémon boarding pass and a wooden tag with Pikachu wearing a captains hat. It was really cool. And ANA has amazing service.
Nice flight review as usual, Sam. ANA's inflight service looks good.
Hello sir Sam.
Love your videos ❤
From Singapore 🇸🇬
Great video, Sam! Thank you very much!
I love the Pokémon aircraft.. I did the ramp for one of the flight in Canada.. so awesome, people were coming over and taking pictures non stop
Very nice staff and excellent service good to know for the future. 😘😘
I have used ANA thrice and l believe the cabins are truly clean and everything is done efficiently. I agree with you on ANA doesn’t have the over the top stuff. One thing though generally ANA is a little pricey compared to most of the major airlines
I love Ana!!I flew back to America on the stars livery after the flight they gave me a Ana card for the flight it’s the little things they do to make the flight amazing!!
Thx Sam for the nice video. I love ANA airline. They were the first delivery customer for the Boeing 787 dreamliner
ANA provided us great service when we visited Japan. It was very good and pleasant. No complaints.
ANA is my favorite airline, flown them a bunch of times in business class, want to try first class. Thanks Sam for showcasing my favorite airline. There are 2 ANA Dreamliners at PAE hopefully deliver soon.
Hi Sam. Finnair flew non stop flights from Helsinki to Tokyo during the cold war. Dc-10 with extra fuel tanks. It was only airline who do that that time.
Treated myself to ANA business class on mid-haul once. It was absolutely fantastic! You can't really go wrong with ANA.
This is the best review of The Suite thus far on RUclips! I am flying JFK > HND The Suite in February of 2024 and I have really benefitted from your video.
Great little video Sam! Especially enjoyed the food prep part of the video. Very interesting and delicious I'm sure! Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy them!!

most complete galey I've ever seen, it even has a microwave ! i love flight with Jal
This guy is so lucky he gets to fly on airplan s as a job I would love that and do it for the rest of my life
Now I always see this plane at O’hare. I really hope to fly it one day as it’s my favorite in ANA’s lineup.
Ana be like it’s been a week we need new Pokémon jets🤣🤣
We need this at SFO, LAX & YVR
Their food for the first class looks fantastic!
Sam another top quality presentation! Your videography on the takeoff from HND is iconic! The view of Tokyo with the glimpse of Mt. Fuji made my week!! Thank you for your continuing excellence!
Thank you!
The scenary when you took off from Haneda airport was so beautiful
The food was so gooodd❤
I hope Ana operates B777-300ER for
two or three more years. You're the best.
Excellent video (as always) - top notch presentation, production and editing.
I love flying ANA - usually in business class (The Room, lately), but I am still nostalgic for the ANA luxury of 15-20 years ago (my wife and I flew ANA First Class NY to Bangkok with a stopover in Tokyo for our first honeymoon trip).
That world class luxury (13 set menus to choose from, and a wine cellar worth a couple of Michelin stars on its own) has unfortunately been dialed down somewhat (on all counts).
I still rank ANA Business class products as my favorite and top 3-4 (with Air China, Etihad and Emirates) in the world (yes, Air China is outstanding, even though no one talks about them), but I do miss the old super luxurious First Class product and service. Oh well...
You got your own camera person :-)
Nice touch!
Best international airline hands down
Those stewardesses: such sweeties.
Good F&B coverage, Sam.
Wow good video
Hi Sam!, as you said, its not a review, its an experience! Well you mean it !😄😄
Nice video again..love your interaction with the crews as always
Very nice report Sam. Thank you.
I love that ANA lounge!!!
Haven't flew first class and been to thro lounge since covid, look like their lounge has been revamped and refreshed, looking forward to my trip In April
The footage of southern greenland was majestic
Sam, you`re the most professional flight experience reviewer👏, love your videos🤩, thanks for that!
Another terrific video Sam. ANA is a great airline, I wish they flew to Montreal ! Wow that food looked good and the cabin crew is so friendly. Too bad you didn't get to fly on the new Pokemon 777 ; it looks cool ! Maybe try again; first class is nice on a 14 hour flight but I read and sleep in economy plus so I probably would not pay for the extra.
My fav country to visit,,mind blowing omotenashii and not just airlines but everywhere you go !
Great documentary again, always enlightening... my favourite channel... “First Class!".... Roger...... Pembrokeshire.... UK
7:15 that airport reminds me of Asiana airlines 214 crash
Even though it’s not the actual airport
Great Trip. Great Video ❤
ANA hands down serves the best in flight meals for Asian flights! In every class. Unbeatable ❤ & I mean, just how thoughtful and creative can the Japanese be? Pokémon flight 😂
Very enjoyable video. Thank you!
Beautiful livery 😍
Welcome back to Japan!
Wow beautiful airport❤
Japan is always next level❤🌸
Hi Sam, love traveling with you. Thanks for another great trip and yes fly more economy that is what I have to fly. Cheers...
Hey Sam this was a nice video. The Pokémon plane ✈️ was really cool to see. I think planes ✈️ that are painted with certain themes really look nice. 👍🏽
That is a really good livery!
04:50 I see that this time you made the online check-in... You got the window seat!😁
Can I ask - did you pay for this particular trip yourself? Did the company endorsed in any way your video apart from the invitation to the ceremony? Did they pay for your hotel stay?
omg so cute of them ❤
Great video Sam you have the best life,fly away and enjoy.
