Absolutely love flying ANA. Was asked once by one crew member where I was going to in Japan and told her a small city in the west. She went off and about three minutes later another crew member came along for a chat who was from that city. That attention to detail is why I love Japan.

I think what are best about your reviews is that it’s about the product - not you. So many make their videos about them. I want to see the service, the hard product. Of course I want some personality in there too, but it’s the product that’s important. I like the humour as well - not a typical American humour! Your definitely one of the best v-loggers out there. 10/10

I must say, ANA's cabin crew has to be BY FAR the nicest, most passionate crew I've ever encountered! I certainly agree with you on everything! On a recent, round trip flight from IAD --> PVG via HND, in economy class, I noticed, on all four of my flights, just how passionate wascrew were. Even on a red-eye flight that left at 1:30 in the morning at PVG, where a crew cangrumpiestrunpiest, the ANA crew were just so happy and so excited to pursue their job and serve people! However, the big icing on the cake was on my flight from HND --> IAD, where there was a baby in front of us f12-hour12 hour journey to Washington DC, and not a single time did this baby cry (the flight was almost 12 hours)! The ANA crew constantly checked on the baby, and they were genuinely excited to see a baby on board! They gave the baby a crib to sleep in, and the crew was basically a 5-star babysitter to this baby! This fact right here is what prevented this baby from crying for the entire 12-hour journey to IAD. I have nothing but respect for the ANA crew, and I seriously wish other carriers would learn from ANA and their crew.
@tfft7 ай бұрын
I completly agree and I think their passion comes across as compassion. They simply understand travelers of all sorts and how to respond to their needs.

Hi, I've been watching plane reviews from several of the bigger aviation youtubers for well over a year now, but today is the first time the algorithm offered me one of yours, and let me say you have been a breath of fresh air. Beautiful shots of the interior and exterior overlaid with fitting relaxing music. A long in depth review of every aspect of the flight A few little factoids few people care about, but which make me incredibly happy, like that ANA flight code of NH comes from Nippon Helicopters all the way back in the 50s, or that the modern and stylish livery actually dates back to 1982. Those little things make me happy even though when I told them to my fiancee she just rolled her eyes. 😅 I immediately subscribed and am going to go through your backlog to watch some more stuff. Alread watched the Hilton Cancun video before I returned here to comment. Oh one more thing I absolutely love that I think is marketing genius is putting your next 5 videos in the description. That way you're teasing the videos and make people want to look out for them. Absolutely amazing work. You've earned yourself a new loyal subscriber

Whether its "pretend" or "genuine" is not always easy to tell. Yes in some cases it is more apparent, often due to that particular airline management and policy or specific culture of that country, but in other cases, its not that easy. I mean ANA has strict training on their flight attendants, what comes across a genuine from them in fact may well be pretend...just that we don't know. Either way, it doesn't really matter all that much in the end, so long as you get good service.

The travel videos I really do not care for are the ones that are filmed for 2 hours and NOTHING is said and the is no overlaying music, just normal audio. You and Sam Chui are two of my favorites. So please keep up your style of delivery. I love it!! As a former flight attendant for over 30 years, I’m still an aviation geek and this is one of the ways i can still get my fill. Awesome job!!

In the end I didn’t think it was relevant for the video, but one of the most impressive things about the crew was that there was a language barrier with some of them. Not major, but definitely noticeable with a few of them. But even with that barrier they were just so good and knew how to ‘read the room’ that it almost made it even more charming. It’s a level of pride and care I haven’t seen before.

I find so many travel vloggers to be incredibly disrespectful of the people around them.

I was flying around 100,000 miles a year back then. The space was massive. We were in the nose of the plane and the seats were ridiculously far apart from each other.

Thank you for an excellent and thorough review of ANA's The Suite product. I've only booked J for international trips as F only exists on a handful of airlines these days and usually beyond my budget. After watching this video, I'm going to find an opportunity to fly ANA's The Suite soon. I first flew ANA in 2019 via UA codeshare flight from JFK to BKK via NRT. The first leg was in UA's Polaris and it was quite the disappointment. However, once I boarded the ANA flight to BKK, the experience was night and day and it's great to see they are consistent in both J and F. I've been a huge fan of ANA ever since. In fact, I am flying ANA to SIN via HND later next month in The Room and cannot wait (will be my first time!). Great pacing and thoughtful narration as well as outstanding videography. I've always felt international first class was over the top but you have done a terrific job of showing me that over the top is sometimes worth it 😊.

There is something about ANA, JAL, and KAL that just makes them stand out from the crowd. They don't have the bling of Emirates or the marketing of Qatar, but what they do, they absolutely excel at.

With the exception of Korean, I'd agree.

@tfft everybody's experience differs, naturally, but for me KAL is leading the pack.

Another great audio visual experience from you Kevin.. I hesitate to call your flight a product , but it seems to be approaching understated perfection.. You mentioned ‘the good old days’, and I was lucky enough to have a mother who ran a small travel agency for 30 years.. she must’ve been good , because there was a time in the early to mid 80’s when I was getting treated to a few complimentary first class flights and hotel rooms .. the 2 standout experiences were : seat 1A on Pan Am’s iconic LHR to JFK route.. immaculate.. and Philippine Airlines’ 747 from LHR to BKK with 2 stops in between.. the upstairs had been turned into a dormitory with very comfortable bunk beds , and we were able to stay in bed during landing in Mumbai , and the subsequent takeoff .. while both airlines and crew were very unlike each other, I felt like they actually cared a lot about us .. just like you did on this flight in your Suite .. thanks as always for sharing your travels with us : it’s a really tough job , but someone’s got to etc .. peace ✌🏻.. btw I was only 17 when I took those flights .. what a joy for a youngster !! 😊

I come from a family who worked in the airlines decades ago and so I often hear of similar stories- including the Concord, nearly for free... But I suppose ANA F, nearly for free is still pretty good! haha

I’ve greatly enjoyed your educated and mature narration. Your void of squeals and “oh my gosh’s” is beyond refreshing, so too is your lack of gangsta wannabe ridiculousness so profoundly and tastelessly utilized by most so called influencers 😂 of today! Great video!

I'm definitely going to put "Lack of gangsta wanna be ridiculousness" as an acquired skill on my CV 😅

WowoWinner, I've never flown ANA ever but this vlog of yours makes me wanna book an Asian trip ASAP on ANA Airlines! Your vlogs are Very Informative, Educational and Extremely Well-done and it's obvious that you have done your due diligence and research into your subjects based on the wealth of information and history in your narrations. As an added bonus, your voice is very pleasant and not grating at all. I accidentally stumbled upon this vlog and now became a New Subscriber and Fan of yours. Please keep these Travel Vlogs coming for your fellow travelers and Thanks A Million Kevin for spotlighting ANA Airlines (now this airline SHOULD think seriously about sponsoring your travel vlogs! Lol! ). Safe Travels Everyone!

Glad you had the flight of your dreams. lots of fluff flying around in some scenes where you show the storage areas. was it the cotton or dust?
@tfft7 ай бұрын
It commonly shows up on camera in direct sunlight right after the plane had been cleaned. Most cleaning crews use microfiber cloths to wipe everything down and the static I find usually means it takes a while for the normal amount of dust found everywhere to settle down. It was by no means dirty.

I flew several times in business and it was generally fine. But in my opinion it would probably more matter of quantity than quality the distinction between first and business classes. I keep my mind but, after your splendid video, I now believe that ANA fc is a very special exception. Thank you.

Ditto all the positive comments below. Being a long-time subscriber, I am truly happy that this flight/experience brought you so much joy. I actually rewatch this video to brighten my mood. After seeing this when it first came out, and then again today, it never gets old. That's a testament to your content. By the way, what is the significance of runway 31 at JFK to you? I must have missed your explanation, distracted by the soundtrack. Thanks for your great work creating compelling content.🤙

Thanks very much for that, it really means a lot! As for 31L, landing there meant that our taxi to the gate was less than 5 minutes long- important at the time since I needed to enter the US and get to Terminal 5 for my next flight leaving less than 2 hours after this one was scheduled to land.
