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.

    That 777, while not being the Pokémon jet, still looks really nice. Sam, I have always enjoyed your videos.

    I have done contract work for ANA for many years. The employees are polite , respectful and very professional. ANA is the epitome of customer service and attention to details. Along with JAL they are among the best of the Asian airlines. ✈️
  • Thank you very much for this nice Video🥰 I saw this flight rout for the first time. Greetings from Switzerland
  • 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.

    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.

    Sam is living the dream of every avgeek right now. Nice work, Sam! P.S. From my point of view, it would be very interesting to know Sam's life outside of aviation.
