Greetings,

Just booked the bucket list trip to Japan in March 2016. I am flying on NH11 from ORD to NRT arriving on a Sunday. I am returning from ITM to NRT to ORD on a Sunday one week later. On the return I arrive NRT at 3:35 p.m and depart at 5:10 p.m. Since theses are both ANA flights I am not to worried about this connection.

I am currently holding 27C on both long haul flights which are on the 777 300ER. I know its way to far out to even worry about the configuration of the seats, but am looking for general pointers as I get closer to departure.

I checked the wiki links regarding ANA at the top of this forum and the links led to the ANA website which seemed somewhat incomplete when researching meal options and other info.

Questions: 1. What is the best seating I can work for on an award ticket from United? Aisle is preferred choice.

2. What are the meal choices like? My internet research hinted that some food items might be for purchase. What are these items and are they worth it?

3. Can I carryon a rollerboard suitcase that is meant for this purpose? Or is ANA one of the airlines with strict carryon policies that limit carryons. Since checked luggage is free I don't mind checking. Just hoping I don't have to.

4. How crowded is this flight on a Saturday? What is it like to arrive NRT on A Sunday to get iinto Tokyo.

Thank you.
