Food & Drinks in the Lounge
These are the meals I had in ANA’s Suite Lounge.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they served items like these convenience-store-style rice balls.
Private Booth

You can use these booths for things like phone or online meetings.

Media at the Boarding Gate
This is the boarding gate for the 10th Anniversary Commemorative Flight. It’s the 10:25 a.m. departure to Okayama.
Many members of the press wearing yellow vests are gathered here.
Commemorative Photo Spot
This is a standee where you can take commemorative photos with ANA staff members.
Boarding Gate Area
This photo was taken from behind the boarding gate area.
You can really feel how lively the atmosphere is.
Commemorative Flight Display Board
The display board shows an image for the 10th anniversary commemorative flight.
Model Plane
This model airplane was placed beside the boarding gate.
This special livery was only applied to the first two aircraft, and all of them have since been repainted in the standard livery. ANA’s Boeing 787 entered service in 2011–2012, and these special livery aircraft flew for about five years.
Ticket Gate
Passing through the ticket gate—time to board the aircraft.

Premium Class Seat
I flew in Premium Class on this flight. I believe this was an international aircraft. These are international business-class seats being used as Premium Class seats on domestic flights.

Since this was a special commemorative flight, the cabin lighting was set to rainbow colors.
Morning Meal

Vegetable Soup
Soup was served as well. Since it was the breakfast menu, soup was included.
Premium Class Cabin

Water Salute
Upon arrival in Okayama, there was a water-salute ceremony performed by the airport fire trucks.
One fire truck was positioned on each side of the aircraft, spraying water from a very high angle. Water salutes are commonly performed during special occasions, and since this was the 10th anniversary commemorative flight, they held one for this flight as well.
After the Water Arch
After the water salute, water flowed down the windows like this.
Cabin Lighting
The ceiling lighting turned green.
Rainbow Colors
You could enjoy watching the lighting gradually shift into rainbow colors.
Disembarking
We disembarked the aircraft under this special lighting.

Hotel Information Board
This is a hotel information board located inside Okayama Airport.
Vegetable Sales
Since this was a 10th-anniversary commemorative flight, special goods and souvenirs were available for purchase.
I learned that some of the vegetables served in ANA First Class are grown in Okayama Prefecture, and vegetables from the same producers were being sold for 350 yen per bag. So passengers could purchase and enjoy the same vegetables used in First Class meals.
They mentioned that the vegetables were pesticide-free and could be eaten without washing. They looked incredibly fresh.
