gnaget, joejones,
Thank you for your thoughts.
I would like to go ANA to Newark and drive from there. Unfortunately the only flight between NRT and EWR seems to be operated by UAL. There is a code share for ANA on this flight but I guess the level of service would be closer to UAL's usual service rather than ANA's i.e. not great. But still considering going this route.
How does one arrange a "bulkhead bassinet"? Is it worth it and can it be arranged ahead of time, or do you have to wait and see on the day of the flight?
