ANA's new suite really is great. My pictures don't even begin to do it justice. While I've yet to fly the new F products on SQ, EK, and AF - I will say the new NH product ranks only behind EY A380 F in the products that I have flown. Fortunately, it's also far easier to book than most other highly-aspirational F products.

I'm a commercial airline pilot but also still serve as an officer in the Navy Reserve. I'm currently on military leave with my airline and on a long assignment in Japan with the Navy.

Great to hear from you,
krazykanuck! While, unfortunately, I strongly doubt Japan will be reopened for tourism by September 2021 the good news is that ANA is still releasing F award inventory for 2022. I would look at rebooking sooner rather than later.

You're not going to get me to say anything bad about United (

) and I will say that the last United crew I had in April on EWR-NRT were absolutely fantastic in their own regard.
