Welcome to the second trip report of this series to Hong Kong onboard ANA's 777 and 767 which we will be flying on this evening. If you have not yet checked out my last trip report, feel free to check it out by clicking below.
After disembarking the 777 which brought us from Los Angeles in groups, connecting passengers were allowed to directly enter the departure hall without passing transit security. This helped passengers on tight connections save time and allowed me to do some souvenir shopping in the 1.5 hours I had before my second flight. It felt good to be back in Japan after a few years, even though many shops in the airport were closed and the country was still closed for tourism.
Our flight NH811 will be departing on-time from gate #27. As you can see, the last flight out of Narita tonight will be ET673 to Addis Ababa departing 21:10, because Narita is not a 24-hour airport.
Narita International Airport's Terminal 1.
Picking up some Japanese souvenirs on this rare trip to Japan during the pandemic.
While other airports are trying to eliminate airport sleepers, Narita in fact encourages this. Not only do seats not have barriers between them, they have these relaxing chairs for anyone to snooze a bit before their flight.
And of course… a bottle of green tea from the vending machines before boarding!
Gate #27 where we will be boarding out flight to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, there is no view of the plane as it is blocked by the jetway.
Like the first flight, boarding happens in 4 groups.

The business class cabin on ANA's 767 is in a 2-1-2 configuration. Got to say, I would hate to sit in the middle column with nearly no privacy at all and constant traffic from both sides! The seats were built like they were a lone island.
The economy cabin in a 2-3-2 layout.
Another row with two windows!
The flight was roughly 50% full, and I had a free seat next to me. However, the windows buzzed for the rest of the flight which stopped me from sleeping. As you can see, the screens were small but they had the same movies as our first flight— an excellent selection.
Legroom was generous for a medium haul flight. There was sufficient room even after putting my headphone case into the seatback pocket.
The seats are equipped with universal power ports and USB plugs.

We've spotted all three of ANA's A380s today, all parked in the hangars!
Soon we were lined up and rolling down runway 34R.

Once again, service started with wet wipes and a pack of these crackers.
The main meal consisted of two salads (one chicken, one standard), crackers with cheese, and a chicken rice. Three chicken rices in a day, but this one stood out as it was catered in Japan.
Dessert was a cup of Japanese vanilla ice cream. This tasted better than the American one to me— it was slightly less sweet.
Interestingly shaped emergency exit.

Safety card for this aircraft.
Soon we were on our approach into Hong Kong International Airport. It was a very cloudy night, but you can see Victoria Harbour in the distance.

Taxiing to the gate was quick, and soon we were getting off the plane.
Entering Hong Kong, we were quickly transported to the satellite terminal by APM and completed the quarantine procedures there, which took nearly 1.5 hours without wait.
This flight was a good way to end my long journey home before embarking on 7 nights of quarantine in an isolation hotel. The crew on board was extremely kind and offered prompt assistance. Even though it showed its age, the cabin was clean and well-maintained. However, it was hard for me to sleep due to the loud windows which kept buzzing while we were in the air. The food on this flight was another chicken meal, but it was very tasty.
Thank you for following me through my journey and my first trip reports! Feel free to leave some comments on what you think about ANA's product.
