Their business class product is top notch! The Polaris in ORD is one of the best, I didn't do the shower and lounge but I did eat a a lot. Great vid Chase💥
I loved watching this video, it seems like such an amazing experience and the cherry on top on paying with points had to feel good as well. Awesome video!
Watchin you play with the door was HILARIOUS! I lost it when you peaked through the gap like a kid. So glad to see you enjoy the flight. Looking forward to more videos (new subscriber) :)
I'll be using ANA business class round trip from JFK to BALI. There's a layover in Haneda and in Jakarta. I plan to take advantage of the showers and their food. After I leave Bali, I have a KLM Business class flight to Singapore and then after I spend a week there I'll return to America on ANA. $8200 The last time I was on a Japanese air carrier was JAL in 2003. Haven't been to Japan since. Almost wish I could stop in.
Loved your narration! This was me a few months ago had to cdg on Airfrance new business which also had a ‘wall’ but it’s not as big. Being a noob is the best, you can have the most fun. Can’t wait to try this one next time!
I always find it strange to have a shower at the airport if it’s NOT a long layover…. If youre just taking a non stop flight to a destination, wouldn’t you have showered at your hotel? Or at home? I had a friend, that whenever the lounge had a shower, they were like ‘Got to take a shower because it’s bougie!’ And im like… we just left the hotel???!! Did you not just shower? 😂
lmao 😂 well if it's less than a 1 hour layover then taking a shower seems like it'll be rushed. But i love my showers so if I have time, I'll take one. Even if its nonstop 😅
Two weeks ago we flew on NH 11, too, from ORD to NRT. We should have gone to this UA Lounge instead of the one we went to near B6! That was a huge disappoint. This lounge looks so much more upscale and a food-to-order dining experience is more what we expected! Where is this lounge located? Next time we'll surely hit this lounge when we fly ANA again.
I’m so jealous and happy for you. For that much points and fly at one of the best airplane suites, was such a good deal. Imma start building relationship with virgin Atlantic lol
Just reviewed ANA the room from my flight two weeks ago. It was good, but now that so many people fly ANA, I feel the services and amenities are wearing a bit thin to accommodate everyone. Otherwise a nice new private room, however, I believe the seating on the older version may be more comfortable.
I can't speak to that because I have not experienced ANA business class before last year. Maybe ignorance is bliss because this experience was not too bad
Yes, having to take a shower before and after a long-haul flights is very nice. For safety I always wear my flip flops beach house shoes on my feet in the showers when I am traveling. I just don't know how often the showers are cleaned.😊
I hear you. It is nice to see how passengers and frequent travelers look at the travel life. Again, thank you for sharing coming to you today from here in sunny Chicago at 3:02pm in the afternoon.
ANA seems much better, no doubt about it. I'll have to give it a shot next time. My JAL business class flight to Tokyo was way too tight for comfort. It was 2 3 2 for me
Appreciate the flight video! I felt the same way with the partition door with AF. Good insight as i have “the suite” flight from ORD coming later in the year.
I did this product HAN - LHR - HAN last year and was underwhelmed. F&B, service, IFE, and seat comfort were average at best. The sliding door is good but I can get that plus tick the other boxes on airlines like QR. Also, the ANA Haneda lounge is a circus.
That’s the cash value he found. At the end of the video he shows he actually got it on points for pretty good value. Good to know you can get it in cash for much lower than $8k
@@ChaseYokoyama btw, I used your method to search ANA award, nothing if I look at 330-355 days range. However, there's something within the 14 days period. Really hope the seats show up later in June/July because I am planning to go Tokyo next year summer time
My #1 business class choice is the Room , you got kids this is a heaven in the sky 😊
hahahha i can imagine 😂 its a perfect kids play pen.
That was a terrific video and narration by you. I watched the entire thing and loved it! Thanks!
thank you so much! 🤙🏽 im glad you enjoyed it

I aint gonna lie the food in the lounge was 🔥
That lounge looked great! Napping 💤 beds!💪 The Wall😂 Thanks for the overview Chase!
I wish I could've slept longer 🥲
Can anyone confirm if all United Polaris lounges are like this?
@@gadgetimpulse3833 they aren't all the same layout but they have the same amenities

It took a little messing around with to get it to work 🙃 Can't you tell I fly in the room often 😂 welcome aboard and thank you for watching!

ahhh noooo! you guys gotta try it again and hit up this lounge 😅. it is located at Concourse C, Gate C18.
Taking this flight in a few hours and i cant wait 😊
I hope you enjoyed it!

the best part is that anyone can do this too!
Awesome! Great video! I'm gonna have a very similar video coming out soon as I flew the same exact route a month ago 😆
Thank you JP! 🤙🏽 ill for sure check it out when it comes out

@@LMays-cu2hp sounds like a nice day.... but how were the winds? 😳
Hahaha ☺! No winds today and it was about 67 degrees outside while being sunny.
Different plane, different structural design, so my question is what plane model is this experience from?
it was a B777-300ER
I love these flight videos from you. Less than 50,000 Virgin points is amazing value
Thank you Jacob! 🤙🏽 I always love a good deal
ANA seems much better, no doubt about it. I'll have to give it a shot next time. My JAL business class flight to Tokyo was way too tight for comfort. It was 2 3 2 for me
What plane was it? The new A350s look great but the old 777 seats not so much
@@Sogeking995 yea it was a old 777-300
I'm planning to go to Japan in 2026. I'll try and book 'the rolm with Ana' looks amazing!
i wish you the best of luck!
Great review. Did ANA offer pajamas? If I go to Japan I'm not sure it might be better to change planes on west coast. Thanks.
unfortunately they do not provide pajamas,
They do in the first class
3:29 It looks like an IKEA product. After you fly Business on EMIRATES, it's like comparing a Maybach interior to Volkswagon's best.
Emirates is on a different level for sure
Great vlog! Very thorough, fast, and you speak very clearly! I will take the same flight December, 2024. Thank you!
I'm glad that it was helpful! I hope you enjoy your flight in December! 👏🏽 im excited for you

well i guess YMMV.
I've never flown on an airplane, that's the way to go. Great Video.👍
well this wouldnt be a bad first experience whenever you decide to fly
Wow. Thanks for this
thank you for watching!
Great video showcasing the lounge and business class experience.
Thank you! Im hoping to share experiences like this more often
Absolutely beautiful man!
I appreciate you Chad 🤙🏽
Better than QSuite of Qatar Airways?
personally I have not been on those yet but from watching other videos I would say not better.
you didn't get the vegan ippudo ramen or veggie curry?
nooooo 😢 TBH i was kinda full and suuuper tired so I didnt feel like ordering more
Looks amazing! I'm definitely looking to try that one day.
Please do! It was very worth it. (when paying with points)
@@ChaseYokoyamaof which I'm currently lacking haha
@@AFC_27 lol you can change that!
Loved this video Chase! Living in the lap of luxury. I can’t wait to experience this. I’ll be just like you with opening and closing that door 😂😂😂😂
hahah well now you know kinda how to use it so you dont make a fool outta yourself like I did 😂
@@ChaseYokoyama 🤣🤣
Love your commentary 😂 Lol-ed at the Play station controller. Are you half Japanese by chance?
haha thank you Cocoa! Yes I am Japanese / White
Polaris daybeds are terrible, uncomfortable. Showers are awesome and the restaurant is nice.
couldnt try out the restaurant but man those showers were something else
1:49 thank god i can put all my friends in there with me :)
😂 fill it up!
how tall are you? 5'5?
6'7" on a good day
Thanks for the info + video!
no problem jimmy! 🤙🏽
Goals!!!

3 full sized adults??? Ummmmm…. Hahaha that, sir, could only hold you, and half of another person hahaha
😂😂😂 depends how hard you try
Hahaha. What a story, Mark!

I think I heard your mom calling asking for you to take her on that flight…..

So luxury
it was a nice experience for sure
Thanks for the info and amazing commentary about this business class flight chase ! We've got the green light, you're going to the warzone !!

this aint Spirit airlines
You wanna use the slippers. Forensic files.. guy walked his "hairs" from room to room on his... socks.. eww?
hairs??
You paid $8000? I’ve flown in the room several times and I’ve never paid even 50% of that price. You need to work on your purchasing habits dude
That’s the cash value he found. At the end of the video he shows he actually got it on points for pretty good value. Good to know you can get it in cash for much lower than $8k
