It will be a special flight, and likely ANA will researve it for a lottery/charity/elites special event flight.
Plus, i expect NRT (and HNL) to be thronged by fans looking to see/photo/video the beast.

I wonder though, since the plane is being delivered in March, wont they be doing domestic familiarization runs (NRT-KIX returns)?
Those, if they exist, will be the "shortcut" to getting onboard the plane while it is brand new.
I am watching if ANA will announce special NRT-KIX flights in April and May since ANA doesn't actually fly that route.
NRT-ICN or NRT-HKG might also be special run flights.
