    I flew in ANA's new First Class onboard the Boeing 777, nicknamed "The Suite", en route from Tokyo to New York. This would be my first time trying ANA's majestic Japanese dining experience, and it was certainly well worth the wait.
    In addition, I also got to sample a few glasses of $1,000/bottle Hibiki 21 and passed the time by watching some movies on the crisp 42-inch entertainment monitor.
    ANA New First Class is certainly one of the best ways to fly to and from Japan, and I can't wait for my next flight onboard - perhaps together with a long-awaited visit to Japan after they reopen their borders.
    Booked with: 60,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles + $150

    When you fell asleep at the beginning of the trip you had me worried that you were going to miss a meal and leave us with half a review. In the end though, with sheer determination, you came through with "flying" colors!😅.

Emirates first class to me definitely caters to the "new money" audience where they think that famous designer name brand clothes are the epitome of fashion and style. And "old money" individuals can just have a flight on their private jet.

      It wasn't all too difficult in the leadup to May 2022 since Japan is still largely closed for tourism. But looking deeper into 2023 it's getting more difficult. Best to look at the very end of the schedule (June 2023 at this rate) and see if you can find a one-way rather than a round-trip (take a different flight in the other direction)
