Yeah not to be a downer or too drastic, but those of you keeping the PJs are effectively "stealing" though I don't think ANA cares very much. It's clearly listed as a rental on their website: https://www.ana.co.jp/en/us/servicei...ide/c/amenity/
I’m flying them again in a few weeks so perhaps I’ll bring them with me and see if they still want them back!

In addition, in their press announcement, there is no sign of the PJs being rentals. "We will be revamping our bedding, amenity kits, and other in-flight amenities for a more comfortable experience on board.... NEW Pajamas *quantities are limited on each flight"".

Also, given the quality (nowhere near EVA's) of the PJs, it's surprising that they are loaners. You could probably buy each piece at DAISO.
But regardless, oops, but I don't feel bad since it's not clear at all. I'll probably bring my own next time.

I've only been flying ANA since 2014, but I don't recall them ever being take-home. I suppose the new announcement might be confusing in the sense that it doesn't specify.

Looking at Sam Chui's video of the A380 in F, it looks like the headphones have been swapped out for Sony Sony WH-1000XM3s. I picked up a pair for personal use and prefer them to the Boses found on other airlines. I hope this model makes its way to the 77Ws as well.

New amenity kits both ways IAH-NRT-IAH last week. I honestly liked the older gel pillow better.
Never was a fan of PJs in general. The new changes seem to have been more centered around J rather than F.

Last ANA F flight I did, I was told I couldn't take the PJs home and had to give them back from LAX-NRT, but was told I could on NRT-LAX.

It clearly says that we can take the PJs home, the knit wear (looks like a zippered cardigan to me) is a loaner though.

Wow. Being offered a new (additional) set of PJs is common in Japanese F, but blankets? The refreshed blankets look nice but I'm guessing they're not guaranteed new equipment.

hi there, does anyone here have any feedback/experiences on the pre-order meals in C for the current June-August cycle?
I am now looking at the menus for my flights in August vs. the pre-order choices...
for example, the beef filet with red wine sauce on ex-US flights vs. the beef filet with Bercy sauce and garlic cream on the pre-order menu. or the olive-crusted seabass with champagne sauce, which is also on the pre-order menu...
any feedback/opinions/photos?
