✈ I've flown both The Room and this older "staggered" product. While The Room does have the new, nice finishes, big TV, IFE, and wide bench seat, I found the length of the bed to be too short for me (6'2"), requiring me to sleep on my side. Additionally, The Room's bed cushioning is really thin / firm, even with the provided mattress pad, so I ended up with a crooked back and struggled to sleep in The Room. Sleep is a priority for me on TPAC flights, so for this reason I prefer the old staggered product.
hahahah "it's not a tart it's a cup" 😂😂😂 always love the candid commentary and details! i've heard that overnight flights are at a disadvantage bc of the more limited food service but i feel like this is actually a good balance - you get to try the snack menu without overeating. on our flight, they gave fish for both japanese meals and it was a bit too much fish, plus the breakfast one was very dry. oh and agree that light off is better
Flew ANA biz to Seattle a few years ago. Felt it was very average. Food was passable, beverages were weak and seat was OK. It’s no SQ and frankly I’d prefer AC in Biz over the water 🇨🇦
I have flown ANA business class a few times either out of LAX or SFO to Bangkok layover in Tokyo, I live in Northern California so it makes no difference to me, always enjoyed my flight as well as the meals, lol feed me, turn off the lights and sleep the flight away lol, I have flown with cathay Pacific to Thailand layover in Hong Kong and I enjoyed that flight as well, I feel so fun with United to Tokyo. I didn’t like that flight so much, if you don’t start your vacation out right it just doesn’t feel the same
✈ Flying the Flying Honu later this month from NRT (my home airport) to HNL in business class. It's an older style but looks newer than this. I'm racking up Air Canada miles and status to try to the the Room or the Suite at some point.
A very detailed flight review. The Room is a much better version compare to their old business class seat. As a Japanese food lover, I always find ANA catering service one of the best. It seemed that you didn't enjoy it that much.
We were originally supposed to fly The Room, but got plane swapped last minute. The red eye flight menu was very underwhelming compared to other Asian airline offerings.
Very neat, I'm trying The Room next year. After that I need to try the new JAL first and business to JFK and the old ANA F and J like you did and I will have flown every product available today on Japanese airlines. Unfortunately, I'm beginning work with a new Japanese company and while I'm being paid significantly more than my peers, its just not enough to manufacture spend like I used to.
@@theanimecompletionist 10 days is the minimum mandated by labor standards law. You shouldn't need to be lucky to get the bare minimum working conditions the law requires. And companies that obey the law don't get cookies for doing what they are supposed to. Companies only giving five days in Japan are breaking the law, and I'd suggest anyone you know in such a situation should consider consulting a union, a labor lawyer, or the labor standards office.
just flew the new ANA room from Haneda to ORD. It was good but I noticed the service was reduced. Flew back toJapan with JAL first class the service was exceptional. In ANA they replace the Globetrotter Amenity with Ettinger, which is just Meh. Especially it comes with less items than before.
Was this flight include an equipment change? I took this flight last year in 2023. ANA schedules their "The Room" as their overnight flight to SFO. It's a shame that ANA doesn't have a full meal after taking off. I was really disappointed when I had to order from the snack menu. I limited myself in the lounge because I was expecting a meal on the plane. Oh well... ✈
✈️ hey Sebby,so it’s either “the Room” or this for ANA business class? My wife and I wanna go in summer 2025 with ANA’s the room but it seems very difficult to book two seats.
✈️ I’m planning a trip to Tokyo April 2025 for Star Wars Celebration. What’s the best business class you’ve flown on a trip like this? Would love to try ANA’s “The Room” but I’m having trouble finding availability. I did find ONE JAL business class seat SFO to HND but I dunno if there’s a better option?
