Just to kick start a wiki, with answers to frequent questions.
1. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. NGO-HNL is booked in business class, but HND-NGO is in economy. Will we still get the baggage allowance as if we're flying business class the whole way?
2. We're flying HND-NGO-HNL. Will we have lounge access in HND?

Interesting. It looks like it got ferried there on a special flight and is returning on a special flight. I’d normally think maintenance, but that’s a pretty long maintenance except a C/D check, which by its age it’s maybe due for (but why wouldn’t it just fly to Seattle anyway to do those?).
One of the Japanese Magazine (Airlines) have a photo of ANA C3PO going for maintenance there.

I believe if its for maintenance purpose they will be sent to ST Aerospace? They are one of main service provider for MRO. Maybe they have something that Jalec cant do on their end.

LH lounge any better than Alitalia? Wanting to try another carrier, was disappointed in our last CX Business Class MNL>HKG>SEA>JFK>HKG>MNL a few days ago. Not sure if the grass is any greener at JL. Interested in the Sky Suites as the foot area is open and not cramped into the tiny cubby like on CX.

Always do, try to stay in town 3-4 days to catch a few shows and eat some good food. Managed to catch 3 Broadway Shows this past week, Moulin Rouge, Tina Tuner, and The Sound Inside.

The whole terminal is pretty sad. Definitely not worth getting to the airport early if you’re flying from T1 (unless flying AF La Premiere, I suppose).

I don't have experience, but yes, shelf to place it on would be almost non existent. I guess the only real option is to have the tray table out while the seat is reclined, I have nerve tried that either, so I don't know if that is truly an option. (Talking about the Apex Suites here)
