    I must say, ANA's cabin crew has to be BY FAR the nicest, most passionate crew I've ever encountered! I certainly agree with you on everything!
    On a recent, round trip flight from IAD --> PVG via HND, in economy class, I noticed, on all four of my flights, just how passionate wascrew were. Even on a red-eye flight that left at 1:30 in the morning at PVG, where a crew cangrumpiestrunpiest, the ANA crew were just so happy and so excited to pursue their job and serve people! However, the big icing on the cake was on my flight from HND --> IAD, where there was a baby in front of us f12-hour12 hour journey to Washington DC, and not a single time did this baby cry (the flight was almost 12 hours)! The ANA crew constantly checked on the baby, and they were genuinely excited to see a baby on board! They gave the baby a crib to sleep in, and the crew was basically a 5-star babysitter to this baby! This fact right here is what prevented this baby from crying for the entire 12-hour journey to IAD. I have nothing but respect for the ANA crew, and I seriously wish other carriers would learn from ANA and their crew.

      @tfft  Před 3 měsíci +4

And the way you show the menu with current prices for the beverages is absolutely genius. The travel videos I really do not care for are the ones that are filmed for 2 hours and NOTHING is said and the is no overlaying music, just normal audio. You and Sam Chui are two of my favorites. So please keep up your style of delivery. I love it!! As a former flight attendant for over 30 years, I’m still an aviation geek and this is one of the ways i can still get my fill. Awesome job!!

    I think what are best about your reviews is that it’s about the product - not you. So many make their videos about them. I want to see the service, the hard product. Of course I want some personality in there too, but it’s the product that’s important. I like the humour as well - not a typical American humour! Your definitely one of the best v-loggers out there. 10/10

      Whether its "pretend" or "genuine" is not always easy to tell. Yes in some cases it is more apparent, often due to that particular airline management and policy or specific culture of that country, but in other cases, its not that easy. I mean ANA has strict training on their flight attendants, what comes across a genuine from them in fact may well be pretend...just that we don't know. Either way, it doesn't really matter all that much in the end, so long as you get good service.

    Hi,
    I've been watching plane reviews from several of the bigger aviation youtubers for well over a year now, but today is the first time the algorithm offered me one of yours, and let me say you have been a breath of fresh air.
    Beautiful shots of the interior and exterior overlaid with fitting relaxing music.
    A long in depth review of every aspect of the flight
    A few little factoids few people care about, but which make me incredibly happy, like that ANA flight code of NH comes from Nippon Helicopters all the way back in the 50s, or that the modern and stylish livery actually dates back to 1982. Those little things make me happy even though when I told them to my fiancee she just rolled her eyes. 😅
    I immediately subscribed and am going to go through your backlog to watch some more stuff. Alread watched the Hilton Cancun video before I returned here to comment.
    Oh one more thing I absolutely love that I think is marketing genius is putting your next 5 videos in the description. That way you're teasing the videos and make people want to look out for them.
    Absolutely amazing work.

I really liked what you said about the crew and I fully get how you described it. Having been on the other side, I know how important it is to strike the right balance between, hospitable, respectful, professional and caring. It does help when you have a sublime hard product to support you! Thank you for bringing us on this beautiful journey and experience, it is as close as most of us watching will ever get to experience it…😍🤍🇯🇵 PS. No matter how many times I see the ground crew wave and bow, it always gets me 🥹

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Před 3 měsíci +6

      In the end I didn’t think it was relevant for the video, but one of the most impressive things about the crew was that there was a language barrier with some of them. Not major, but definitely noticeable with a few of them. But even with that barrier they were just so good and knew how to ‘read the room’ that it almost made it even more charming. It’s a level of pride and care I haven’t seen before.

    I subscribed about two minutes into this video. I like your style. Very clear, soothing oratory style. Very informative without being dull. I like that you showed off the lounge without (mostly) showing the faces of the people who were just there to enjoy the lounge and not be filmed. I find so many travel vloggers to be incredibly disrespectful of the people around them. They are not extras in your film shoot, they didn’t consent to being mocked because they had the misfortune of sitting next to you. I’ve seen people do this and I immediately decide to never watch them again.

    ANA is my favorite airline and I've flown them almost every time I've gone back home to Korea. (I don't mind the layover I usually spend a week in Japan before flying on.) Unfortunately, the airport here in SEA that is serviced by ANA is 162 seat 787-8. I have flown down to SFO to get to fly a 777-300ER though. Great review.

    Excellent review, as always. It reminded me of my best flight. In 1999, I flew Cathay Pacific on a 747 in first. It was about a 14 hour flight from Hong Kong to somewhere I can't remember. I was flying around 100,000 miles a year back then. The space was massive. We were in the nose of the plane and the seats were ridiculously far apart from each other. The flight attendant made me feel like I was the only person on the plane. Thanks for your videos. They really are next level.

    I flew first class for the very first time in my life and it was on ANA The Suite between HND-ORD and it was the best experience I’ve ever had, I am planning on doing it again in 2025. this year I have LH F on 747-8 and SQ F Suite on A380 planned. I think I am hooked now 😅

    Yet another great video. Well done.
    Absolutely love your choice of soundtrack. I am especially intrigued this time by the music accompanying the clip of approach and descent into JFK.
    For the record, my 'best' flight experience is when I have an empty seat next to me in Economy and no crying baby or service animal onboard. ☺

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I think Economy +1 is one of the most underrated ways to fly. I'd always choose that over premium economy. I wish more airlines would allow the "buy an extra discounted seat" like some do. Thanks for watching 🩴

Because it was so calm & tranquil (which is exactly what you want to experience on a long haul flight), watching it was very long and when I got through half of it I was really wishing you would just hurry up with the review.

I wish I could afford to fly ANA but i am a pensioner on fixed incomes it's out of the question.

    Thank you for an excellent and thorough review of ANA's The Suite product. I've only booked J for international trips as F only exists on a handful of airlines these days and usually beyond my budget. After watching this video, I'm going to find an opportunity to fly ANA's The Suite soon.
    I first flew ANA in 2019 via UA codeshare flight from JFK to BKK via NRT. The first leg was in UA's Polaris and it was quite the disappointment. However, once I boarded the ANA flight to BKK, the experience was night and day and it's great to see they are consistent in both J and F. I've been a huge fan of ANA ever since. In fact, I am flying ANA to SIN via HND later next month in The Room and cannot wait (will be my first time!).
    Great pacing and thoughtful narration as well as outstanding videography. I've always felt international first class was over the top but you have done a terrific job of showing me that over the top is sometimes worth it 😊.
