Aircraft

This is today’s aircraft for the London flight, a Boeing 777-300ER.

Boarding will begin shortly.

New THE SUITE

This is the new “THE SUITE” First Class seat. It was the very first aircraft to be equipped with it. Besides myself, many aviation enthusiasts were also onboard to experience this new First Class seat.

Door of THE SUITE Seat

Looking at the neighboring seat, you can clearly see the overall design. Each seat comes with a door, making it a private suite.

The interior design is calm and elegant, with a stylish finish.

Seat Area

This is the seating area itself.

First Class Cabin

This is the overall view of the First Class cabin. Once the seat doors are closed, each suite becomes a fully private space, ensuring maximum privacy.

The raised section on the left side of the screen is actually a light fixture.

View from the Window Before Takeoff

The view outside the aircraft window before takeoff.

Welcome Drink

I was served a glass of champagne as a welcome drink.

View from the Window After Takeoff

This was the view from the window about 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff, as we flew out over the Sea of Japan.

I believe this was around the Niigata area. The rectangular plots below are most likely rice fields.

Menu Book

This is the menu book, containing both the drinks menu and the food menu.

Menu Book Cover

Full Course – Amuse Bouche

The meal service began as we were flying over Niigata.

Full Course – Table Setting

The table was set for the meal.

View from the Window During the Meal

While enjoying the amuse bouche, we entered Russian airspace. I believe it was around the time we crossed into Russia from Vladivostok.

Full Course – Appetizer

The appetizer course.

Full Course – Salad

The salad course. Likely ham, arugula, and cottage cheese.

Full Course – Soup

The soup course. It appeared to be corn potage.

Full Course – Wagyu Steak

The main course was Wagyu steak. In addition to champagne, I also enjoyed some red wine.

Between the Table and the Window

During the meal, I became curious about the space between the table and the window. There was even room to place a hand towel, making it feel spacious and comfortable.

Full Course – Dessert

The dessert course. It was served with dessert wine.

Full Course – Petit Fours

Finally, petit fours (small sweets) were served. On the right is a cappuccino.

THE SUITE – Seat Door (1)

This is the First Class cabin after the meal service. ANA’s newest First Class seats, “THE SUITE,” are designed with doors for each seat, creating a private suite-like space.

THE SUITE – Seat Door (2)

This photo shows the cabin after the lights were dimmed, highlighting the screen and the soft wall lighting to the left of the screen.

The lighting on the side is indirect, not too bright, and gives a thoughtful, refined touch to the cabin atmosphere.

Window Blind Control Buttons

The blue-lit buttons below the window are used to raise and lower the window blinds. They look very stylish.

The controller in the foreground is used for seat reclining adjustments and screen operation.

Mirror

Opening the small compartment door on the wall next to the seat reveals a mirror. This is convenient, especially for female passengers, as they can touch up their makeup while seated.

Height of the Seat Door

The door on the aisle side is tall enough that when the seat is fully reclined into bed mode, the open space at the top is barely noticeable.

The level of privacy is excellent.

Wake-up Drink

The pre-arrival meal service began. First, the table was set. I was offered a refreshing drink such as ginger ale or cola to start the morning.

Breakfast

This is the breakfast service.

A flight attendant kindly suggested, “Would you like to try something?” and brought the dishes accordingly.

Breakfast – First Plate

The first plate.

Breakfast – Second Plate

A Western-style plate.

Breakfast – Third Plate

The third plate.

It seemed like it would also make a nice pairing with alcohol.

Breakfast – Fourth Plate

The fourth plate.

I also asked for some matcha, which they kindly served. In addition, I enjoyed a cup of tea.

Over London (1)

While having the pre-arrival meal, the beautiful view of London appeared outside the window. The river seen in the distance is the Thames.

This is already quite central London.
