    Oct 22, 2008
    Pros: Nice new aircraft, punctual, nice toilets (!)
    Cons: Messed up special meals, cold flight attendants.

    Summary: I flew ANA on one sector from JFK to NRT in December last year with my fiancee. I have flown to and from US a couple of times from Singapore on United and on one occasion, the New York-Narita sector was serviced by ANA aircraft, hence there won't be any ... read more

    Dec 27, 2007
    Pros: Comfortable seats, good entertainment, wonderful food
    Cons: could not find any

    Summary: I absolutely love going to international events at the expense of my company, which means going Business Class (I am too cheap to pay business fare when I travel on my own). As for my favorite airlines, I am really torn between British and All-Nippon: ... read more

  • Excellent service.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 26, 2006
    Pros: Great customer service.
    Cons: Partners with UA in star alliance, meaning domestic travel will be UA.

    Summary: I fly about 100,000 miles a year, mostly on business. I've been star alliance gold for five years or so. Since my company picks up the tab, I fly business class. Accordingly, my review doesn't cover economy. I try to fly ANA whenever possible. ... read more

    Pros: Good serivce, meals, beverage, on time departure and AVOD excellent.
    Cons: Connection flights waiting time a bit long in NRT.

    Summary: ANA can only be beaten by Cathay. Onboard ANA, you will find the aircraft is much better than many other Asian airlines such as Japan airlines and Singapore Airlines. The seats are wide and comfortable. The miles programme in ANA is fine. The PTV with ... read more

    Pros: Quality of the fleet, entertainment, food, gorgeous flight attendants, legroom, efficiency
    Cons: Lack of presence in the US

    Summary: The superb reputation of All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines is well deserved as service, efficiency, food, and attitudes are vastly superior to their counterparts in the United States. My itinerary from Shanghai included a stop in Chicago and ... read more

    Feb 16, 2005
    Pros: Star Alliance, well covered domestic route, Excellent Service, Japan Airpass fares!
    Cons: stupid 2 month domestic rule, still not available everywhere!

    Summary: Pretext When my friends find out I'm going home (Japan is my second home), they ask me "who you flying with?" I answer "ANA." And always the response is "what's ANA?" ANA is an old airline in Japan, but relatively new to the international market. ... read more

    Pros: Better lounges than JAL
    Cons: FA service that isn't consistent

    Summary: Due to mileage partnerships I usually go out of my way to fly JAL, despite extremely high prices, and it wasn't until recently that again out of necessity I had to fly ANA. I hadn't flown with ANA for about 4 years since I was at college, but apart ... read more

    Cons: none

    Summary: I have relatives in Japan so I go visit them every 2-3 years. When I shop for my tickets, I have a lot of choices. One day I looked at a list and notice All Nippon Airways. Their Japanese name is "Zenikku" which means air travel anywhere in Japan. ... read more

    Pros: Excellent service, economy leg room
    Cons: Some planes not yet upgraded

    Summary: As a tall person, I'm always concerned about leg room on long flights, and when Delta stopped flying out of Portland, I needed to find an alternative way to get to Japan. I settled on ANA, partly on the basis of its web site advertising and ... read more

    Pros: Fast, Efficient and Friendly staff
    Cons: No food or drink offered on "shorter" flights

    Summary: The dreaded semi annual trip to the corporate sub office in Albuquerque (ABQ) New Mexico was upon me! A 24-36 hour trip back to the US from Japan was the worst part of the whole trip. The air carrier for the initial part of this trip was to ... read more

    May 1, 2002
    Pros: efficient, friendly, and decent food
    Cons: none

    Summary: I was placed on an ANA flight through United's codeshare agreement, and it couldn't have been more fortuitous. At the ticket counter at Dulles, I asked if I could be placed in an exit row, and they immediately took care of it, without any ... read more

  • Surprising Quality at Such a Low Fare

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 30, 2001
    Pros: Good service, good food, and even better fare
    Cons: Some flights use older aircraft, but even these are OK.

    Summary: Hong Kong-Narita-Los Angeles-HK early on this year, 2001. Took the flight because it was a bargain (I fly between 4-7 transpacific flights a year, and as I run my own business, I like to keep costs down). On this particular ... read more
