Greetings Nico83et13 and thank you for reading and leaving a comment. I agree with all your points! Happy flying.
Great Report as always! Definitely a big difference in the experience from Regional to International Long-haul, but then again that's the case everywhere. Nice to have an empty lounge, but it seems a bit disappointing for a First class lounge. Service on board seems great and the good Champagnes are nice to have. Thanks for sharing!
Hello KevinDC and thank you for reading and leaving comment.
Nice to have an empty lounge, but it seems a bit disappointing for a First class lounge.
-This impression could also be blamed on me as I did not document all of the food offerings or amenities available.
Happy flying!
Wow! I really enjoyed your report, but what a STARK contrast between ANA and UA. When I saw what was served as a meal on United, it was shocking. The United sandwich looked a like an ill camel's mouth. Thank you for sharing this TR, and ANA seems to offer stellar service. Unfortunately though, this report does not bode well for UA.
Hello there Byromania and thank you for reading and commenting.

-To be fair I wasn't attempting to compare ANA International First Class to United Domestic First Class. I was just showing how different the experience is, which is to be expected.

-Excellent, thanks for the laugh!
Happy flying!
What a wonderful review.
While ANA's First class lounge does not have a sushi bar like Japan Airlines, the noodle bar is a good addition, but they should improve the presentation of the noodle bar, right now it looks a bit like a small take away restaurant. For first class, it should look more CX's new noodle bar in Manila airport.
Aside from that, the on board product is very impressive! I am impressed at ANA.
But I think the caviar should be served separately with blinis and cream etc, not on top a tuna crudo. They are probably trying to balance the flavors, So I dunno :) I didn't taste it.
The seats look great, roomy and with enough privacy, even if its not fully enclosed suite.
And I love the Rimowa amenity kit! I only have 1, its from EVA :(
It is strange to serve champagne that is not bubbly lol I have to admit, I haven't had flat champagne either.
Anyway the most impressive thing from your review, is my impression of ANA's food presentation, WOW, that is restaurant quality. Hopefully it tasted as good as it looked!
Some airlines, like Cathay, you eat at the lounge before getting on board because the food is not as good, but looks like ANA its reverse, you don't want to fill up at the lounge, because the on board food looks so good!
But the salad is ... yeah, just lettuce. lol

- Everything I sampled (except the sad lettuce bowl) was outstanding.

- Interesting, thanks for the tip.
Thanks and happy flying!
Thanks for sharing this report with us.
I must say that I am also quite impressed by the presentation of the meals that look perfect and according to your rating tasted as good as they looked.
As for the seat I share your feeling about the choice to hide a window as the outside view is the best IFE ever !.
The PJs look good and I would feel comfortable and not ridiculous to wear them around the cabin.
An overall very good impression of ANA with you report.

- Yes indeed. It's the same story in J with some of the seats as I learned this month on a SIN-NRT flight. You really have to loosen the seat belt and stretch to see out the window.
Thanks and happy flying!
Wow, ANA looks incredible! The food looks delicious, and what a comparison to show your meal on United in F to LAX. How sad that looks compared to ANA.
Love the 777. I need to get on a flight with one soon!
Thanks for sharing this report.
All best!
