All Nippon Airways 
The lounges at Narita airport are exquisite. They have sumptuous leather seats, and service that is beyond 5 star.

Once onboard you will find your seat is shaped like a little cabin so that you are in a world of your own with the seat being 84 cm’s wide which opens flat out. Once in a bed position get comfortable in satiny sheets a lovely down filled duvet encased in silk and a fat, fluffy down filled pillow. (Pictured above). The most luxurious in bedtime slumber.

On the 15’ inch TV you can watch whatever you like whenever you like and with great sound while wearing your noise reducing headphones. A private phone in your seat allows you to make calls while you check the world news on CNN by plugging in your computer to the universal power port near your phone.

A flexible reading light allows you to read without disturbing anyone. A tiny little cocktail table allows you to drink your favourite spirits while relaxing or working on the flight. 


A lovely foot rest under your TV screen gives you maximum comfort to stretch out and under that is room for you to store bags or papers, which is very clever. Even the shape of the dining table has been taken into consideration. It is wood grained and designed to the angle of the plane during flight. 

Of all the airlines ANA consider their meals haute cuisine and so they should as they contain the finest ingredients to make the finest meals. You can choose from Western, Japanese which is pictured above right and Kaishoku which are light meals.
