I want to visit my mom in the U.S. but all the flights have been packed. Last minute, I found a seat on ANA. The first flight from HK to Tokyo is in Economy Class.

There’s nothing wrong with flying economy class, but once you tried premium class, it is hard to sit back here….I made a mistake by forgetting to do online check-in and it was a full flight, so this time it was my turn to sit in the middle seat!

I dozed off a bit during the takeoff. Flight attendants came back for full meal service, and they handed out a menu card with meal pictures for passengers to choose their choice of either ginger pork or chicken. The main course came in a paper container, drinks in paper cups and napkins made of green tea leaves…ANA is going green.

We landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport on time in the evening and the terminal was very busy. I proceeded to the ANA lounge and it was crazy crowded. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the food in the lounge.

My next flight to San Francisco is on ANA B777-300/ER. This flight features their new Business Class Suite called “The Room” which is the widest Business Class seat out there. The bed is not quite long enough for my height so I settle with a diagonal position which I can stretch fully. ANA provided some good amenities such as latex pillow and mattress for a good sleep in Business Class. Since it was a red-eye flight, the food option was limited.
