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 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
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
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.
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 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'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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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💯✌️
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 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.😂
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 🎉🎉🎉
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 wish. I had gotten a load of ANA miles through an AMEX transfer. However, no availablity until 3 days before we were leaving Tokyo on a LOT flight I got with those miles, and the wrong day. So I missed it. They don't have great availability it seems.
Flew ANA F last year ORD-NRT and then JAL F HND-ORD. 2 of the best first class products in the world. I do want to try ANA J but it will never top their F experience so maybe I won't
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.
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.
It’s consistently average and you can get good deals, but I’m surprised you call this your favorite airline. Also the picture you flashed was of the amex business green credit card, which is completely different.
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 RUclips 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
ORD-NRT r/t 777 I tried the corn soup both directions to confirm it was way way way too sweet. Inedible. My window business seat in the mini cabin was shoulder tight. Other than that, I also think ANA is up there with the best airlines.

That ramen is soooooooooo good! Thanks for the great review!
I flew ANA's business class on a business trip to Japan from London. It was just ASTOUNDING
The punctuality mind effs me. wish it was stressed more in the US ❤ the video.
I'm flying from Frankfurt to Haneda next month using ANA. (Although in peasant class) I can't wait.
Thanks NonstopDan for the awesome video as always :)
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
Love ANA! Seriously they are so consistent which is so important when flying.
Looking very nice. Thank you for sharing your experience.
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

That flight looked great!!
Definitely bucket list. Great review as ever!
Just curious, can you do a comparison of skytrax 5 star rated airlines and rank them?
and maybe review some more economy classes!
i love the production value of these videos
Glad that you had a great time!
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’d appreciate if you try TAP, it’s my home country airline
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.
Guam person here who loves your channel! So surprised to see it featured here, even though it’s typhoon related 😂

I flew the suite and the room and it literally blew me away. Best experience of my life
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!
Sometimes I dream about that Vegetarian ramen... on my most recent flight i skipped the meal service and had the ramen twice.
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.
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.
❤️ ANA Business. Much better than JAL. Very Japanese - of course - but with superior customer care.
Had a chance to fly ANA “the room” a couple of weeks ago for 14$ with points. It was amazing!
Hello Dan, I've just discovered your you tube and I've been watching them one by one, I love them
Es un lujo que no todos podemos disfrutar, pero aún así lo que me muestras me encanta. Gracias.
Love ANA! You should always ask for the Japanese menu on their flights, excellent food.
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 your videos Dan! You inspired me to start my own RUclips channel! ❤❤
Hi Dan! Could you pllsssss review the Asians Airlines Business Suite? Much appreciated
Could you do a video of the pros and cons of buying miles from carrier vs points
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
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.
I flew ANA economy class for the first time in my life and it is the best flying experience I ever have.

Amazing Video Dan!
the handwritten note at the end would keep me flying with ANA. Gotta love Japanese culture =)

Just a regular question, how many flights do you take yearly now that you don't record every flight? Love you content man
Yay! I LOVE ANA biz!!!
Just come across this channel. Love your content, man.
Hi,how are you and keep up the good work? I am flying with Singapore Air in October on a a380 in a economy do the just 2 seats together?
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💯✌️
What a lovely flight experience.
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.
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!!!
Thnx for the video. I’ll be flying ANA biz for the first time in Nov looking forward to it
Its hard to believe you would have passed almost directly above my house for this flight
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
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
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?
Entertaining Video as always 💥
How did you buy the miles at a discount?
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!
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
I'd like to see a few more videos about the cheap seats, as that's more relevant to the bulk of us.
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.😂
Still my favourite airline to fly
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 🎉🎉🎉
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 love ANA SM
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!
Thank You for this video dan! :) Im torn between ANA and JAL, both seem like fantastic airlines
Where do you find the mileage sales?
You are so humble Dan. I love your videos. Lots of ❤ 💕 💙 from 🇨🇦
the colours make it feel / look like a hospital.
BTW, I always loved the 757. Congrats on 757K subs!!!
I wish. I had gotten a load of ANA miles through an AMEX transfer. However, no availablity until 3 days before we were leaving Tokyo on a LOT flight I got with those miles, and the wrong day. So I missed it. They don't have great availability it seems.
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
Lovely ❤
Flew ANA F last year ORD-NRT and then JAL F HND-ORD. 2 of the best first class products in the world. I do want to try ANA J but it will never top their F experience so maybe I won't

Watching this at 757K subscribers 😂… congratulations man 🎉
I would have flown Ana new business class called ‘the room’
same me flew that
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.

Hey, was this filmed in late May? If yes, I was in the Philippines when the typhoon hit Guam
is 45k aeroplane points normal or is this a last minute booking ?
Normal!
ANA is great!
It’s consistently average and you can get good deals, but I’m surprised you call this your favorite airline. Also the picture you flashed was of the amex business green credit card, which is completely different.
Hey Dan, Will you review ANA again covering "The Room?" Pretty Please!
Hopefully sometime soon!
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.
I love how on the groundd we see a Cebu Pacific a330
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 RUclips 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! 🤞
Wow!!!!!!
I love your vids man ceep gowing ❤
6:07 hey I live on Guam and that typhoon hit us really bad 😂
It appears that ANA flights don't show up on Aeroplan website anymore. Anyone knows what's going on?
How did you find last minute syd to hnd availability? Ana availability doesn’t seem to appear for me on air Canada search engine
ORD-NRT r/t 777 I tried the corn soup both directions to confirm it was way way way too sweet. Inedible. My window business seat in the mini cabin was shoulder tight. Other than that, I also think ANA is up there with the best airlines.
