I love your subtle humor in these reviews they’re always so unexpected 😅❤ glad you had such a nice experience the plane ride looked amazing
I keep wondering how she stays so slim, all the delicious foods she eats, and unable to be active during her trips.

75,000 mileage points + 80 dollars is quite a bargain for that luxury business class seat to New York. It used to cost me 60,000 points + 100 dollars for a "normal" business class seat on another airline from Haneda to Honolulu...
What they didn’t say was the fact that it’s 75,000 points _round-trip_ which is just plain nuts. That’s related to how hard it is to obtain ANA miles though. Miles in the US are far easier to come by since American banks helped the US airlines out by buying a tooooon of miles during the financial crisis, which they proceeded to shower on credit card holders over the past decade. Of course, as folks amassed a ton of miles the US airlines slowly ramped up the cost of award redemptions. There are still relative bargains out there, but they’re much harder to find.
*If you love Japanese Culture, I think you will love my music 🥰! You can listen to it for example on my channel! Thanks for the attention and have a wonderful day!*
It’s a crazy good bargain. I am currently planning on visiting Istanbul and flights from nyc to Istanbul which costs around 300,000 points round trip with half of the trip on a crappy European business class(basically us domestic business)
@@bubbledoubletrouble Amex points can be transferred to Ana 1:1. The problem is, they only confirm your ticket a few days before your trip so unless your work is super flexible, it’s hard to plan for such a trip.
@@bowei4237 That’s assuming you even make it off the waitlist. Everyone knows about the deal, so everyone tries to get it. But what I’m talking about is for Japanese folks, since ANA is of course primarily targeting AMC-and therefore redemption rates-at their domestic market.
If we go by the Amex Platinum card for example, in Japan the annual fee is ~$1,000 and you need to spend about $7,000 in 3 months to get 50,000 MR points, and depending on the particulars of your spend it could end up being just 45,000 MR points. _And on top of that_ you may only convert up to 40,000 MR points to ANA AMC miles per year! There are ANA-Amex co-brand cards, but the earnings rates really aren’t a whole lot better.
Meanwhile, the US Platinum is $695/yr and regularly offers 100,000 MR points for $6,000 (less money) spend in 6 months (more time). Targeted bonuses can net you 125,000 MR points. And currently there’s no transfer cap. This is before we even get into the 5 MR points per dollar spent on airfare.
Incidentally there’s a promotion for the US Gold Card ($250/yr) right now that nets you 90,000 MR points for $4,000 of spend in 6 months. With that card it’s 4 MR points/$1 on restaurants and supermarkets.
That plot twist at the end though :)
Great video, as always!
holy shit, vsauce?
There’s something so relaxing about the minimalism in these videos
Ngl, you almost got me there 😂 That private pod looks really spacious and comfy, perfect for solo travellers. Welcome to New York and I hope you enjoy your time with Ms. Lady Liberty! 💛
I ship it
I swear, I was rooting for the homie.. He got us all..😂
Ms. Lady….?
spoil alert
man its crazy to me that people out there can regularly afford business class. hope to be there one day
He used points from a credit card
If you keep watching youtube, then they will have more money for Business Class !
You'll wish you had the money later if you go full boat. Just sayin'.
@@PhuLy8788 sounding like a real hater right now
@@jahqwelin No, just the truth.
The in-flight meal looks neat and delicious!
I'm always enjoying it!
I'm looking forward to the story starting in New York!
Eating ice cream at midnight while watching a movie almost 40,000 feet above the land....such a mood 😶🌫

Полный эффект погружения, будто вместе с вами путешествую) особенно нравится смотреть какую подают еду)) спасибо за видео, удачи!
The trick of the shower room is to book the last flight of the night and then go and get the very last spot. At least that worked for me 2018 - I didn't even reserve or anything, it was really quiet. The best 20$ I've ever spent, it's the best feeling to fly an overnight flight freshly out of the shower, in newly washed clothes, having a nice dinner and then sleeping until landing.
♥️
I know exactly what you mean
LOL ! I think this is my favorite video from you, I had a lot of fun. 😄 You always come up with something unexpected and you never lack a sense of humor.
Have a great time with your lady ! 😄
Amazing flight. I've just found this channel and have been mesmerised by all the trips. Stopped up until 7am watching. I will run out of videos soon. I also love that you say thanks for your food. So lovely. Thank you
I love that you add descriptions to the food, ty. Some of these dishes are very foreign to me and very interesting!
is no one gonna talk about how detailed the train was? it also looked so cute😭
I think I enjoyed this more than any of your other videos. I don't know why, but it made me feel happy all the way through. I especially love the way you greeted the Lady. Thank you.
I just discovered this page and appreciate the content, it's informative and entertaining. Thank you for taking us along on your trips.
I wanna ride the Vulpix plane! 😮❤
That shot of Mount Fuji’s summit above the clouds was awesome by the way.
I love how much you take advantage of the food on your flights and hotel stays! I’d do the same! Love the food parts 😂❤
The lounge, the flight and the views ❤ What a wonderful experience. Thanks.
Oh this was FABULOUS! I've never flown in my life and I don't want to unless I get that level of luxury! It was absolutely wonderful to see the experience you had and then see the Northern Lights too 😍 You definitely tricked me, I'm so glad that you got to see your favourite girl and I wish you a wonderful time in America 😊
In America? Where? In Mexico? Brazil? Chile? Argentina? Venezuela? Canada? Colombia?

Love your videos, it'd be cool if you eventually did a part 2 or even 3 of Canada. Something like Ottawa - Québec or Montréal - Halifax
Hope you find a great transport across the US this time! Looking forward to any and all videos from this channel, thank you!
That is more luxury than when I flew from Tokyo Haneda to London Heathrow in British Airways First Class back in 2017!
Я вернулась домой после трудного дня, а тут меня ждал такой подарок! ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@5:17 It always blows my mind how big the Tokyo area is. Makes my favorite city of Chicago look like a small village.
lol Chiraq is your favorite city?
You are back in the states! Welcome to the USA! I hope you have a wonderful time here! I can't wait to see what adventure takes you west... Greyhound Bus? Rental Car? Amtrack? Domestic Flight? Which will it be! Thank you for doing these trips and your fantastic insight is always a pleasure and a laugh! You are a kind and respectful man. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video for your viewers. I enjoyed it.
I was so, so happy that you made a friend and were traveling to go see her, and I was absolutely devastated...
Bonjour 👋 Solo-Solo, incroyable ce trajet. Une chose que je ne pourrais pas me permettre surtout en classe affaire mais grâce à vous j'ai, en quelque sorte, profité de votre voyage(sans payer 😃) et avec toujours de l'humour (on ne s'ennuie pas avec vous). Merci pour cette vidéo et profitez bien de votre voyage. Prenez soin de vous, à bientôt 😊.
飛行機でこんなにきちんとした食事出来るなんて感動です。
どれも美味しそうで、見ていて楽しかったです。
I'm amazed and so happy for you on how much your channel has grown..I remember the earlier days..
Nice gotcha! Thanks for sharing all your travels with us. I look forward to your next video!
My son got an upgrade on business class on ANA from Haneda to LAX last August. After watching this vlog I realized my son was favored. He is only nineteen, a university student in L.A.
Thank you for the experience it was great looking forward to some US/Canada travel videos too.
Best "Business Class" I have ever seen, I love your docu style very much, it's very relaxing :)
Love your videos, keep up the great work!
this was so amazing and relaxing I've never been on a plane before I'd be so nervous but you make it look so cosy and relaxing
Cozy and relaxing? Wait until you fly Economy like most if us!
I was eagerly waiting for this video
Your videos are soo relaxing to watch! Thank you ☺️
Thank you very much for your detailed menu and meal reviews!
Ну что сказать, долгая дорога не покажется долгой с таким комфортным перелетом, вкусной едой и хорошим обслуживанием. Потрясающий вид на Токио сверху! А Северное сияние выглядит сказочно! Хорошо Вам провести время в Америке, Соло-сан!
Ага
Adorable! Sweet tribute to our Lady Liberty! Thank you-this warmed my heart. 😘
Your videos always bring me so much happiness 🥰
This video was fascinating! Thank you so much! 🤩
An exceptionally good video as you made use of the onboard cameras. There are millions of flight videos and almost no one bothers to use a different viewpoint, like the nose & tail cameras for takeoff and landing. I would give extra likes just for that!
Appreciate the detailed menu and meal choices. In future, I hope you do more flight/hotel/meal reviews. Your time given to film, edit, add English subtitles is sincerely appreciated. May you always have safety and happiness in your journalese.
I really want to fly ANA again and I wish I had the money/UA points to pull off business class. Their product seems really nice. The lounge looks super good. The best lounge I’ve been in stateside was United Club at LAX. Lots of food, lots of space, good drink selection, plenty of water etc stations, not too brightly lit, lots of charging ports. I was super early so I hung and watched She-Hulk before my red-eye.
I like the sense of humor with which you approach these videos.
Wow!! Our One True Solo is levelling up and truely going places! Happy for you!!
You make me laugh while we travel together. I love Japan. Haven’t been there in years and I miss it. Thank you for reminding me of the gentle funny intelligent people I met there.
I felt the pain in that shower room queue, my family uses Narita airport as a stopping point between where we live in Canada and Vietnam (since there are no direct flights that far), and on the way back from visiting family in August we had an 8 hour layover. Went to book a day room only to find out there was a 7 hour wait list ._.
Speaking of Narita airport I’ve now learned that Haneda also does some international flights, all this time I thought Haneda was domestic only. Thanks Solo-san!
I think Haneda does most of the international flights, it's way more expensive than Narita though
Was going to use the shower in the lounge and couldn’t believe there were 41 people ahead of me. But i had my belly full with little bowls of ramen
He really got me with the lady liberty. I left speechless. I thought its some Ms. Solo solo reveal, eh but its not gonna be solo if he reveal a partner 🤔 its always fun to watch your trip, have fun and return safely!
Thank you for another relaxing and enjoyable video.
Love your videos, keep it up!
The simple ones are fine too!
I loved flying on ANA airlines. Great service, friendly staff.
Foi um relax, acompanhar vc nessa viagem.🤩🇧🇷
Thanks for sharing. I especially love your food choices. 😊
Such a lot of food! Beautifully prepared and presented, too. Very impressive 😊
ANA is my go to airline. Business class is fantastic compared to other airlines. Japanese are very detailed right down to the littlest things and i enjoy that. The crew are very friendly. I never flew other airlines since i tried ANA.
Singapore Airlines is on a par with ANA. Very few other airlines even get close though.
@@duncanmcewan1049 I don’t travel on my national airline Singapore airlines. Seating in economy or premium economy is still cramped. First class is NUTS biz class is so so. Plus you can’t buy passes to the lounge (at least when i used to fly economy with them)… ANA you can especially with long layovers.
Спасибо, замечательное путешествие!! Удачи вам!!
This has to be the only CZcamsr that I watch from start to finish 🥺
fantastic as always
憧れですよねぇ本当に
1回でいいから体験してみたい
Love ANA, my favorite Japanese airline. I love kabosu as well and all the CA are so nice and friendly.
What an excellent video! It was informative and entertaining. I chuckled at many of your comments. This was very very good! Thank you.
Imagine getting a text from Lady Liberty... "u up?"
That seat looked soooo comfortable! I don't travel much so I can only dream of traveling in such luxury one day. Great video as usual!
i'm always amazed at how much food you can eat in one meal haha and i hope you had a good trip
Живут же люди)) (имею в виду шикарную возможность совершить перелет через океан с максимальными удобствами) а названия японских блюд для меня звучат как блюда от самой высокой кухни, для истинных гурманов)) слюнки текут, хоть я и не пробовала и не попробую ни одно из блюд. Очень интересное видео, благодарю!
Your captions are at once thoroughly informative yet brimming with shade, and it is glorious! CLAP CLAP CLAP
Newbie! Love your channel already, so excited to catch up on your exciting travels, tysm for taking us along!!!
They say business class is the best. We all look forward to more amazing travel vlogs from this channel. Keep up the good work.
What a fabulous video you made, I felt like I was at Haneda airport, on the plane, eating all that lovely food, drinking those 7 drinks with you, and seeing your online girlfriend at the end was a perfect and very funny ending, great imagination you have and the content was brilliant, thank you ❤
Wow! The food the ambiance the flight attendant to wake you up to inform you about the aurora borialis that is fantastics, i've never tried business class seat yet, i hope someday.
What an incredible flight experience! So glad you got to meet Miss Liberty. 😊
I like how ANA planes show takeoff and landing views from the camera under the plane
El vuelo de Tokio a New York llega a volar tan al norte que ver la Aurora Boreal... es un espectáculo precioso.
Generalmente cuando se vuela desde Japón hasta los EEUU y viceversa no se cruza el Oceano Pacifico como uno piensa, sino que se vuela por Siberia y Alaska.
@@luisgomez8774 Por Siberia es complicaillo, ya que se ría seguir una ruta OPUESTA al vuelo, pero sí por Alaska y Canadá.
Great as always!
I really enjoy all your videos and love your humour thank you for making for us
First time to NY? (USA?) what a lovely trip! Such a huge price difference!
But the amenities are outstanding - such great food 🍱!
I was waiting to see "Her" lol I love all your vidoes 😍 you're my new favorite creator 🤗
I would have spent a lot of time on that flight looking at the Aurora. Thanks for including that in the video.
I love solo san's humour and his videos are satisfying
첫영상 부터 쭉 봐왔어요~
앞으로도 좋은 영상 부탁드립니다 .
Amei esta viagem! Que experiência fantástica ver a Aurora Boreal (meu sonho)! Aproveite seu passeio nos Estados Unidos! Até a próxima viagem! Abraço do Brasil🇧🇷
Great video's. I love your storytelling skills, the translation is hilarious. Thank you. 🙏
That twist at the end! Haha. Delightful video, thanks so much.
You seem like a very funny and handsome dude! I really love your witty humor. Ik you're solo travel but I bet you're an awesome travel companion:)
"She looks so busy right now so I'll text her later or something" lmaoo
Well done! Laughed at the red sticks, and the landing oh my god
You are the best. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video 😻😊
The humour you have is incredible. All your videos help me destress. Thank you 🙃
Always waiting for your vlogs 🙂 and finally it came
Welcome back! I hope this trip here is better than your last one.
Screaming cus I live in New York, welcomee!! I've been watching every single one of your videos and they are all so well-made and funny!
Было очень интересно. Спасибо, что дали возможность полететь с вами виртуальная.
As nice as everything was, never would I pay 8000$ on a single flight. That's more than the cost of a regular class flight + 2 weeks worth of hotel + all expenses for a NYC trip lol thank god for miles points indeed!
I really love ur videos, because u have a funny humor and I really enjoy the trips.(I want to go and see Japan sometime)
Very nice video with a nice touch of humor!!!! Keep on going.
Wonderful places.. maybe I'll choose Japan for my next video
Thanks you, nice video. 😀
Thanks so much for your sharing ❤❤❤love it so much
Great vid!!
