    UNDERWHELMING First Class Experience? | ANA First Class ‘The Suite’ Flight Review

    All Nippon Airways (ANA) introduced its latest offering of First Class called ‘The Suite’ back in 2019. With all the glowing reviews this product has gotten through the year, I was ecstatic to finally fly in this product over to New York. However, my experience left much to be desired…

      Great to see a new video: thank you from the bottom of my heart for this «feel-good» video. I’ll be heading to Miami with SAS in a couple of days. Can’t wait!

      I think it is underwhelming because you took night flight? Perhaps flight experience would be way different if you take its morning flight (NH110).

      Since they as well and JAL tend to scale down their services for night flight with the reasoning of "having better sleeping hours".

      This is why I prefer to take their daytime flight since you get to experience full blown service but at the expense of messing up your body clock and lose out on a productive day at your destination due to flying lol.

      HeliCOPTer HeliCOPTer ! Me and my kid loved that. Great video once again…kudos on your editing. Sorry ANA was underwhelming…they are usually top shelf. Safe travels from Hawaii.

      Flew business class last July from jkt to tyo then to Hawaii …and from SFO to Haneda on their room….though generally ok it's also not the best business class…great to see you again always looking good and thanks for a great video❤

      Given the length of the flight and how much ANA First Class tickets cost, they should at least offer the full menu on their HND-JFK flight regardless of departure time. The abbreviated menu would only have been acceptable for flights that are around 7 hours and departing BKK or SIN late at night for HND/NRT.

      Good review and I can’t agree more! For the cost you paid for this First Class flight (assuming you are not using point redemption), the inflight meal on offer is very subpar for ANA First and surely I won’t fly ANA late evening departure.
      BTW, please excuse my ignorance, I’m guessing as a Malaysian you are and being a Muslim, I’m surprised to see you eating a pork ramen.

      The night time flight in and out of JFK from Haneda won't be the one that gets the A350 suites at this point in writing as it's for the JL 005/006 at this time. For the foreseeable future, the night time flights JL 003/004 will continue to be served by their B777-300ERs. Moreover the idea of the lighter evening meal towards the end of the flight is to allow your body to adjust to the local time and by the time you arrive it's nearly bedtime. Thus going to bed on a full stomach is not good.
