First international business travel of 2023! I'll take you aboard a surprise for me in that I boarded an updated 777-300 on ANA with the newest business class product - "The Room"!

I'm headed to Bali from JFK using ANA and we'll fly to Haneda first followed by Jakarta before reaching Bali.
I'll be on ANA business class and right now I'm watching your videos to research the flight.
Looks really good thus far and I'm excited. Definitely going to be excited to experience the business class lounges in Haneda and Jakarta.

Such a great hard and soft product, the seat, service, food ETC all looks amazing. ANA service never disappoints no matter class of service. Great trip report 👍

I will be taking that flight soon. And super excited! Were the business seats fully booked? Asking cause I see that a lot were still un booked on the date I’m flying.

[@yoshijlee]

Business seats were not full, probably around 90% full when I was on.

that airplane is NH007 - boeing 777-300ER right? how i known exactly which one have The Room seat? thank you

[@yoshijlee]

I believe all ANA Boeing 777-300ER's have been retrofitted with The Room seat. This is for high demand routes such as SFO-NRT, JFK-NRT, LAX-NRT/HND, and (I think) LON-NRT. You'll be able to tell through the seating chart when booking online, notably in a 1-2-1 business class configuration and not fully staggered. None of the 787's have that seat, and the A380 is a special First Class seat (to and from HNL) that is similar to The Room.

@@yoshijlee Thanks for your replying!

[@shaffyh7909]

do you know if it's standard now? im taking the same flight in august and was curious, or was it a one-off for your flight?

[@yoshijlee]

I believe most ANA 777-300ER's have this configuration while the 787s still have the older business class configuration - I don't recall when ANA was going to complete the modifications for all 777 aircraft.

Ah, to be young and wealthy.

Had to quit watching when the sound cut out.

Nice review but how much from San Fran - Tokyo?

[@yoshijlee]

It wasn't cheap - north of $3K one way - but at least I didn't have to pay for it out of my wallet XD
