ANA B777 First Class Tokyo to London + New Pokémon Eevee Jet

I was invited to the Pokemon Eevee Jet unveil event in Tokyo with a newly painted ANA B777-300/ER featuring Pokemon character Pikachu and Eevee. I was supposedly to fly from Tokyo to London in ANA First Class “The Suite” on the Eevee Jet the next day…
ANA flight from Tokyo Haneda to London use the new Terminal 2 International facility. I visited the new ANA Suite Lounge, it was quiet and spacious but I found it lacked privacy. At the gate, there was some disappointing news, the new Eevee Jet went tech and was substituted by a B777 in ANA regular livery. Nevertheless, passengers still received the Pokemon souvenir during boarding.
The ANA First Class Suite was impressively wide and came with all the usual First Class amenities such as comfort kit, pajamas and even a cardigan on loan to passengers. Flight time to London was over 14 hours with unusual routing flying North via the Bering Sea, Alaska, Arctic Circle, and Greenland. This is to bypass the Russian airspace due to current restrictions.
After takeoff, I went to check out ANA Economy and Premium Economy product offerings. The Japanese airline offers better meals and legroom in Economy. Back to First Class, I enjoyed a five-course dining and went behind the scenes on how the crew prepares Japanese Washoku meal onboard. We flew past some incredible sceneries over the Arctic and Greenland on the way to London. Before landing, I gave my thoughts on the ANA First Class product.

  • I flew with a premium economy from cgk-hnd and vice versa. It was great, with a fantastic crew and lounge. It is one of my absolute favourite airlines and my favourite cabin crew.

  • I remember, about 40 years ago, you could not fly such a long distance on a two engine jet. The technology wasn’t there. In fact, a lot of times you had to have a stop over. It’s amazing that, nowadays, you can fly 15+ hours nonstop on a two engine jet such as the 777. Talk about advancement in aviation.

    • The 777-200 long range in the early 2000s permitted the NY to HK direct route.

    • Yep probably one of the best advancement in recent years.. The new generation of twin jets setup consumes much lesser fuel too, so it translates to a lot more savings for the airlines.

    • It was called ETOPS: an acronym for Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards (AKA Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim)-a special part of flight rules for one-engine-inoperative flight conditions. Basically, it was "how far can this plane fly on one engine". ETOPS 180 means it can fly 180 minutes with a single engine (first allowed with the B777), means pretty much anywhere except across parts of the Pacific.

  • Always enjoy your videos. Agree about the lounge, it surprises me as usually the Japanese excel at tasteful, elegant decor. They also have a sense of fun in their products. Beautiful take off views. Your meal looked delicious as did the Japanese food. Greenland looked stunning. Nice video as always. Thanks.

Too bad you didn't get to fly on the new Pokemon 777 ; it looks cool ! Maybe try again; first class is nice on a 14 hour flight but I read and sleep in economy plus so I probably would not pay for the extra.

  • Excellent video (as always) - top notch presentation, production and editing. I love flying ANA - usually in business class (The Room, lately), but I am still nostalgic for the ANA luxury of 15-20 years ago (my wife and I flew ANA First Class NY to Bangkok with a stopover in Tokyo for our first honeymoon trip). That world class luxury (13 set menus to choose from, and a wine cellar worth a couple of Michelin stars on its own) has unfortunately been dialed down somewhat (on all counts). I still rank ANA Business class products as my favorite and top 3-4 (with Air China, Etihad and Emirates) in the world (yes, Air China is outstanding, even though no one talks about them), but I do miss the old super luxurious First Class product and service. Oh well...
