Do you think they will release more seats on 4th when they change the aircraft from 789 to 388?

They may or maynot. As I speculated on post 251
It will be a special flight, and likely ANA will researve it for a lottery/charity/elites/corefans/highestspenders special event flight.
I.e. they might go with not selling any tickets to the general public at all.
Plus, i expect NRT (and HNL) to be thronged by fans looking to see/photo/video the beast.

Yes it did, but note that my NH184 (28-5-19) is not the inaugural NH184 (24-5-19).

Does anyone know if the ANA lounge here in HNL will be complete by 5/24/19? I'm really looking forward to boarding the plane directly from the lounge instead of from the gate.

Also, if it will be ready, I plan on checking in extremely early so I can watch and take pictures of the A380 rolling in (hopefully the lounge will be open that early).

142 days and counting. Woohoo!

I called ANA International reservations in the U.S. about booking a seat (Premium Economy or Economy) for

NRT-HNL nh184 dep friday 24/05 20.20 / arr friday 24/05 8.40 am

The reservations agent said the flight is already fully booked in both Premium Economy and lower deck Economy. They re not taking anymore reservations.

What the F.....??

I have not seen the flight being posted on the ANA reservation page at all. I've been looking since 4 january midnight Japan time.

Why was it not posted and how could NH184 inaugural already be fully booked??

Calling for help here. I am going nuts.

Lol. Did you expect seats for the inaugral flight to be available to the general public?
If you MUST, the return NH183 departing friday 24/05 from HNL has 3 economy seats remaining. Grab one if you MUST. Outbound, United has economy award space on friday 24/05 NRT-HNL, so you can go out to HNL on UA using miles and come back on ANA same day turn in HNL.
