GREAT report. The First Square is a great improvement over the First Seat they still have. I have not tried ANA's First Service over the Pacific, only between NRT and CDG and LHR, but the service looks the same. Your explanations of the Kaiseki meal course are tempting me to try it next time, but you're right, it does seem adventurous. You have given me some better ideas for picture taking the next time I flew with them. In the two round-trips I've flown, I was one of three passengers onboard and in all cases, the flight attendants set up the Square next to me as my bed. They were very concerned about their English speaking abilities, but I told them they all did fine.

Thank you for sharing!
