1) Give some more details on ANA SuperStyle F. (aka Oldstyle). Not that I want more UA FF taking up my seats.
So here’s my take on the ANA Superstyle F product. It was not my first tim sitting up front on the 777 so I hope that I don’t take some of the features for granted. First of all, if you’re looking for and F suite experience your going to be disappointed. The SS F configuration is 2 rows of 2x2x2. There is plenty of space as one might expect. I asked for and was assigned 1A. I guess there were no dignitaries on the flight. 10 of the 12 seats were occupied, but service was spectacular as usual. I had a “neighbor” but, I didn’t feel as if I was being encroached upon at all. The seats have PTV’s with AVOD with about 10-15 movies plus additional shorts to choose from. I find the seat very comfortable. It does recline to the “flat” position, but in SS this means 180 degrees and parallel to the floor of the aircraft. It is not flat like a bench and I would assume that those who sleep on their stomach’s would find that difficult to say the least.
There was a nice selection of “adult” beverages including champagne, wine, sake and beer. ANA pours Krug in F. The meal service includes a Japanese “kaiseki” offering that looked excellent. The western menu comes in the form of a la carte options. I started with some parma ham, potato and cheese meatballs with a tomato sauce. Followed it up with a green salad with Japanese dressing, and enjoyed a medium rare filet for my main. I skipped the cheese course and elected to take my pear tart with vanilla ice cream later in the flight. I could have spent a lot of time typing up the menus, but that’s not what F is about for me. At 6’6” 225, F is about a really comfortable and relaxed 10 hour flight with good service and tasty offerings along the way. I got all that and more, but lets be realistic here. If you are choosing to fly in F because you want a 3* meal, forget it. Go to a restaurant somewhere below 34,000 feet. I walked the plane and every seat in C and Y were taken. Those poor folks in back must feel like they’ve been through the proverbial wringer by the time they get to Narita. For me, I guess I have selective amnesia. I do 3-4 transpacific RT’s a year in C or on the occasion of an upgrade in F. I certainly never want to and don’t know if I ever will be able to summon the courage to do it in Y again. I’m just to “big” a human being.

2) Details on connecting from NRT-HND same-day via the Friendly Limo Bus.
I arrived in at Terminal 2, proceeded through immigration and customs and ran outside to catch the Friendly Limousine bus to Haneda. I was told that I need to purchase the ticket inside at the counter and used my CC to do so. Reservations are not needed (I don’t even know if they are possible), but I needed to take the 3rd bus because the ones in front of it were sold out. This amounted to about a 25 minute wait for me. I got on at the first stop. It seems as if there are 3 stops sucking up the inventory so don’t get irate when the “sold-out” bus pulls away with empty seats and you’ve been told to way. Busses run every 10-20 minutes. The cost is 3000 yen. I snagged row one bulkhead on the bus and was very pleased. If you’re arriving at Terminal 1 on UA, NW, AA, etc. it is the last stop and the seat selection will be picked over. There is a potty in the back of the bus for those who have been trying to keep hydrated. The system outlined above is identical for the Hotel bus service. You buy your ticket and your told which “numbered stop” to wait at outside.
I arrived at Haneda 85 minutes after boarding the bus, we spent at least 15 minutes just getting out of Narita Airport.

Gotta shower and get back to the airport after a night in Okinawa. Will continue from the ANA Signet lounge at Haneda in a few hours.
