Just returned from Okinawa on ANA connecting through Narita. Domestic flight was okay. International flight to LAX a
newly configured 777-300 was tough. The fixed back seat is the most uncomfortable seat - could not get comfortable
for 10 hours. The food ranged from odd to not right. A word of advice, when picking a western menu, go with choices
that capture a wider spectrum of the western palette. The service was okay however it took almost three hours for
main cabin lights to be dimmed on an overnight flight. The inflight entertainment screens were nice. Best
interactive flight tracker I have seen. Movie selection was lacking for the caliber of AVOD system ANA invested in.

I flew HND-LAX last week on a 772. I had no opinion in the Value for Money, because I was upgraded to biz
class. The old-dated seats and entertainment systems in 772 need to be replaced. Flight crew are very nice,
though English is hard to understand sometimes.

I recently flew on ANA Business Class from Narita to Chicago and was served my beef fillet uncooked (not
even rare) and had to ask that it be cooked further. When we were served breakfast, it wasn't even heated
up, cold omelette. Again, we had to ask them to take it back and at least warm it. They warmed it to the
minimum. Staff turns up the heat during flight (I assume to put everyone to sleep) as service is hard to
come by in between meal service. Overall service and food needs to be improved to ensure quality service in
all cabins. Service needs to be checked or aisles at least walked between meal services. Air temp. needs to
be cooler. We were seated in business class. The seats are ok, but still not comfortable when in flat bed
mode. I would only take ANA again if I got a free ticket using miles.

HND-HIJ-HND, domestic First Class. This flight was just days after the first commercial service fo the Dreamliner.
Check-in was easy and friendly. It was a bit tricky, but if you find the right security door for First/Gold
passengers, it is quick and easy. Lounge was nice, spacious and clean. Cabin crew were friendly, and excited about
the new aircraft. Meals were great, and even on the short haul you got slippers and blankets. You even got a doggy
bag to take (parts of) your meal home! Return flight was great. I am aware that this is not a normal standard
flight, but there was nothing to fault at all!

NRT-CDG. I have been a regular customer of ANA over the last 10 years (meaning bronze member most
years). In recent years the overall quality is going down terribly. The worst is probably the new economy
class seats used now on virtually all long haul flights that do not recline. Seats on long haul flights that do
not recline. Try getting some rest in those seats if you're more than 175 cm tall. Second worst is mileage
awards/accrual policy which terribly lags behind the competition in star alliance and elsewhere. Most tickets
bought with ANA now only provide you with 50% actual miles accrual. Third is small size of portions (though
nice food I must say). All in all ANA has gone down and I now prefer flying United to the US or Lufthansa to
Europe. This is a shame, because this used to be a really great company.

Flew Seattle to Tokyo recently with ANA. The crew were the selling point of the trip. They never ran out of
smiles and provided excellent inflight service. Tasty food and the best inflight fruit juice I've had on a plane.

Flew ANA return from Singapore to Tokyo in July 2012. Seats do not recline in economy, however, the bottom
cushion shifts forward. For someone of average height this is probably fine, however, being over 6ft this just
crushes my leg room so had to spend the entire midnight flight trying to sleep in a completely upright
position. Secondly, the meals were awful. I had the choice of a local meal and a 'western meal' of a
hamburger covered in cheese with one small baby carrot. Finally, the entertainment system was really not
first class and offered little variety. Either way, I will be paying a premium next time to fly with a better
carrier.

Manila to Narita in July 2012. Quite impressed with good attentive service by nice cabin crew. Choice of
meals offered and free flowing beer or wine. Pleasant flight overall. Only annoyance I had was no one from
economy was permitted to deplane until the entire business cabin was empty. This took at least ten minutes
of us standing in the aisle and definitely caused some passenger to become irritated.

They were extremely helpful in putting us on an earlier flight to ensure we made our connection as well as
retrieving our bags to ensure they made it to our destination with us. The cabin attendants were polite and
gracious. Our seats were comfortable and roomy and made our 12 hour flight not just bearable but
enjoyable. I would recommend for their professionalism and efficiency.

SIN-NRT-SIN. Service was excellent on both legs. Flight attendants were warm and prompt to attend to
customers' needs. After meal time, they went around frequently to offer water, juice or tea to keep us
hydrated for the flight. Inflight entertainment was alright. However, some foreign movies didn't have English
subtitles so English speaking customers are pretty much limited to Hollywood movies. Food served was pretty
good. Instead of just verbally asking you for the meal option, they provided a picture of the two options so it
made the selection much easier. Customers know what to expect from the picture. I also like how Fiji
mineral water bottles were given out during meal times. I would definitely fly with ANA again.

This was my second trip on ANA and similar to my previous experience, I must say that the fixed economy
seat is unbearable! Besides that, I can't really find a reason to complain about this airline. I appreciate the
little things such as, the fiji water bottle, the haagen daz ice cream, complimentary post cards, etc. Customer
service is also another plus about this airline, as everyone from the check in agent to the in-flight staff
provide exceptional customer care. If not only for the uncomfortable seats, I would not hesitate in wanting
to fly with them again.

I had never flown ANA before and was pleasantly surprised. I flew from Tokyo to Hong Kong, I was actually
due to fly with UA but they hired ANA for the flight. I was extremely relieved as UA are dreadful as I had
taken them from Guam to Tokyo. ANA was a breath of fresh air. I flew business, the seats were the new
cradle seats, very comfortable. Staff were friendly. There was on demand TV with new movies. They also give
you a choice of 2 menus to choose from, either Western or Asian. The strange thing is you can't mix and
match the menus.

Flight on a 767-300 from Okinawa to Narita connecting to Honolulu (via United). Wonderful 2 hour flight.
Flight attendants catered to my every need. Check in was crowded in the Economy line due to everybody
leaving for summer break. Other than that it was a wonderful time. I can't say the same about the next flight
on United.

I was very impressed with ANA's latest service standard on a 777-300ER flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo-Narita.
With the only exception of this aeroplane type being much noisier than usual near the back, this was pretty
much as good as any economy class service I have been in. The plane was in a 2-4-3 configuration which
gives various group sizes more options than the standard aeroplane layouts. Despite some negative reviews
that I have read, the fixed shell seats were excellent and gave one all options for what to do on the flight -
work or rest. With this type of seat and good legroom, one is no longer at the mercy of the passenger in
front. The seat design was as good as Singapore's A380's and had top-class in-flight entertainment, including
the best flight progress maps and data that I have seen. The reason for the flight not being a 10 is the
noise.

Flew ANA NH 916 from Bangkok to Narita. The check in process was horrible and the customer service agent
didn't know how to switch my seats for me when I requested and instead tried to upgrade me into Business
class. There was confusion as to whether I could get lounge access since I was booked in economy but I was
showing status as a million mile flyer and a Star Gold. At the gate, I was told that the cabin was fairly open
and I could move to an open aisle seat. I asked for confirmation and an official change on the ticket but was
assured it wouldn't be a problem. Once onboard, the chief purser was polite but was obviously very distracted
with her colleagues and wasn't able to assist me. When it looked like the majority of people had got
onboard, I asked the flight attendant if it was ok to change seats and was told it was not possible, I would
have to do it once we are airborne. When the seat belt light came off, I attempted to move seats and was
again told to take my original seats. For the price of the ticket and the fact I am a 100K mile flyer on the Star
Alliance, I was not only exasperated at how little flexibility and competence the flight attendants have to
ensuring good customer satisfaction.

6/20/12. Check in was polite and nice. English not too bad at check-in. It was very obvious that she was
not comfortable speaking in English and she "spoke" more with sign language than words. Economy line was
very long and there was no one to attend to the line. Mentioned I was a Star Alliance Gold member (United
1K) and asked which lounges can I go to. Was told I was in economy and not eligible. I reminded her Star
Gold members can go ahead and access lounges and found the lounge on my own where I was welcomed.
Inflight service was nothing special. Rather outdated compared to other airlines flying this same route. I
asked the Flight Attendant a question on the US Customs Form and she didn't understand what I was asking
so she brought the Purser and was told a completely different thing. The food was sub par and cold. For the
price paid, I am inclined to leave the Star Alliance and travel on Japan Airlines. They have a try harder spirit
recently and it feels nice to be appreciated as a frequent flyer instead of being reminded of an economy class
ticket. I often fly UAL but thought I would try ANA since I would get the same mileage accrue. For the price
paid, it was a disaster.
