ANA B777 First Class Tokyo to London + New Pokémon Eevee Jet

- I was invited to the Pokemon Eevee Jet unveil event in Tokyo with a newly painted ANA B777-300/ER featuring Pokemon character Pikachu and Eevee. I was supposedly to fly from Tokyo to London in ANA First Class “The Suite” on the Eevee Jet the next day…
ANA flight from Tokyo Haneda to London use the new Terminal 2 International facility. I visited the new ANA Suite Lounge, it was quiet and spacious but I found it lacked privacy. At the gate, there was some disappointing news, the new Eevee Jet went tech and was substituted by a B777 in ANA regular livery. Nevertheless, passengers still received the Pokemon souvenir during boarding.
The ANA First Class Suite was impressively wide and came with all the usual First Class amenities such as comfort kit, pajamas and even a cardigan on loan to passengers. Flight time to London was over 14 hours with unusual routing flying North via the Bering Sea, Alaska, Arctic Circle, and Greenland. This is to bypass the Russian airspace due to current restrictions.
After takeoff, I went to check out ANA Economy and Premium Economy product offerings. The Japanese airline offers better meals and legroom in Economy. Back to First Class, I enjoyed a five-course dining and went behind the scenes on how the crew prepares Japanese Washoku meal onboard. We flew past some incredible sceneries over the Arctic and Greenland on the way to London. Before landing, I gave my thoughts on the ANA First Class product.
I'm Japanese, and thank you very much for introducing one of my favorite Japanese airlines💗
Yea that livery looks sick
I flew economy from Sydney to Dubai in 2015 it was the best flight ever
I have travelled with ana love it. Which one do you prefer jal or ana? Jal is much more expésive than ana
I flew with a premium economy from cgk-hnd and vice versa. It was great, with a fantastic crew and lounge. It is one of my absolute favourite airlines and my favourite cabin crew.

It's cute to see these Pokemon jets!! Bringing back the memories of the ANA Pokemon 747!! 🤩
Indeed, I also flew on Pokemon 747-400 JA8962 in 2001! Time flies!
That 777, while not being the Pokémon jet, still looks really nice. Sam, I have always enjoyed your videos.
Glad you like them!

I remember, about 40 years ago, you could not fly such a long distance on a two engine jet. The technology wasn’t there. In fact, a lot of times you had to have a stop over. It’s amazing that, nowadays, you can fly 15+ hours nonstop on a two engine jet such as the 777. Talk about advancement in aviation.
The 777-200 long range in the early 2000s permitted the NY to HK direct route.
Yep probably one of the best advancement in recent years.. The new generation of twin jets setup consumes much lesser fuel too, so it translates to a lot more savings for the airlines.
It was called ETOPS: an acronym for Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards (AKA Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim)-a special part of flight rules for one-engine-inoperative flight conditions. Basically, it was "how far can this plane fly on one engine". ETOPS 180 means it can fly 180 minutes with a single engine (first allowed with the B777), means pretty much anywhere except across parts of the Pacific.
For sure, thx
The flight crew always seem to be happy. Great video.
They're courteous, I notice their devotion to service and take their job seriously. +1 for the ANA passengers.
Loving that Japanese hospitality! Fantastic! Thank You Sam!
I have done contract work for ANA for many years. The employees are polite , respectful and very professional. ANA is the epitome of customer service and attention to details. Along with JAL they are among the best of the Asian airlines. ✈️
Always enjoy your videos. Agree about the lounge, it surprises me as usually the Japanese excel at tasteful, elegant decor. They also have a sense of fun in their products.
Beautiful take off views.
Your meal looked delicious as did the Japanese food.
Greenland looked stunning. Nice video as always. Thanks.
ANA has never been known for great lounges. It's not something they do well.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for this nice Video🥰 I saw this flight rout for the first time. Greetings from Switzerland
Great work Sam! Another excellent vlog! Been following you for several years now and great to see someone smash CZcams from literally a video of a few photos to the high level production that you produce now! Well done!!!!
Sam is living the dream of every avgeek right now. Nice work, Sam!
P.S. From my point of view, it would be very interesting to know Sam's life outside of aviation.
Thanks Sam Chui for this lovely review, I really appreciate your time
Great video sam! I love all the ana and the japanese airlines liverys on the plane! My favorite is Star Wars!
Me too!
the Jet finally came to london Yesterday 01/09/2023 and it was such an amazing livery to see and great video
Yes indeed, one day after it was scheduled. Nevertheless, safety first and it should be a frequent visitor to LHR.

Hi, nice to see your videos!
I love the Pokémon aircraft.. I did the ramp for one of the flight in Canada.. so awesome, people were coming over and taking pictures non stop
That 777 is so cool looking I want to fly on that one day.😊😊😊❤❤ great video Sam. Sorry y’all had to take the regular ANA 777.
Another good one Sam! ANA and the trans polar route are not options I’d previously considered for getting across to my family down under - but I shall now. Nice soundtrack again. Torii Wolf = great synth
gold experience, service de luxe, many courteos complimentary gift. customer oriented airline. good review- Mr Sam Chui. Great works..
I love Ana!!I flew back to America on the stars livery after the flight they gave me a Ana card for the flight it’s the little things they do to make the flight amazing!!
Sam another top quality presentation! Your videography on the takeoff from HND is iconic! The view of Tokyo with the glimpse of Mt. Fuji made my week!! Thank you for your continuing excellence!
Thank you!
Great video, Sam! Thank you very much!
i was there to spot the livery but was very disappointed to see the normal ANA livery come out of the clouds
Sorry to bring the disappointment. The Poekmon livery actually flew to London the next day, landed on 27L
The scenary when you took off from Haneda airport was so beautiful
The food was so gooodd❤
ANA is my favorite airline, flown them a bunch of times in business class, want to try first class. Thanks Sam for showcasing my favorite airline. There are 2 ANA Dreamliners at PAE hopefully deliver soon.
Hello sir Sam.
Love your videos ❤
From Singapore 🇸🇬
Treated myself to ANA business class on mid-haul once. It was absolutely fantastic! You can't really go wrong with ANA.
Very nice report Sam. Thank you.
Great video!!
And i recomend you High Flyer Reviews
Great Trip. Great Video ❤
I love Sam and all his videos... "Salurd" ✈
Haven't flew first class and been to thro lounge since covid, look like their lounge has been revamped and refreshed, looking forward to my trip In April
I have used ANA thrice and l believe the cabins are truly clean and everything is done efficiently. I agree with you on ANA doesn’t have the over the top stuff. One thing though generally ANA is a little pricey compared to most of the major airlines
ANA my favorite airline. I flown them many times. I love their business class “the room”. Just booked today roundtrip to SFO from Manila for October. Taking wife and daughter back to US. I booked business class because of them large seats, so my wife and daughter can sleep laying down.
My fav country to visit,,mind blowing omotenashii and not just airlines but everywhere you go !
There is nothing makes me happy than watching you Sam wonderful is not enough word helpful information are found in your all flight attainedCoo Sam thank you wish one day I could fly with you just to fill and see how it fills to see wow
Very nice staff and excellent service good to know for the future. 😘😘
Their food for the first class looks fantastic!
Good one Sam.Nice photography.
Sam, you`re the most professional flight experience reviewer👏, love your videos🤩, thanks for that!
We need this at SFO, LAX & YVR
Welcome back to Japan!
Well Sam, 3 years ago when you flow this same route on the same airline you flown on the business class "the room", and at the end you said Next time you Will be flying first class "the suite". I think you were right...
Thanks for remembering this. Indeed, I am glad to made this after 3 years.
Beautiful livery 😍
I learned alot today thanks sam.
Great documentary again, always enlightening... my favourite channel... “First Class!".... Roger...... Pembrokeshire.... UK
Ana be like it’s been a week we need new Pokémon jets🤣🤣
Hi Sam, love traveling with you. Thanks for another great trip and yes fly more economy that is what I have to fly. Cheers...
Cool vid Sam!
Excellent video (as always) - top notch presentation, production and editing.
I love flying ANA - usually in business class (The Room, lately), but I am still nostalgic for the ANA luxury of 15-20 years ago (my wife and I flew ANA First Class NY to Bangkok with a stopover in Tokyo for our first honeymoon trip).
That world class luxury (13 set menus to choose from, and a wine cellar worth a couple of Michelin stars on its own) has unfortunately been dialed down somewhat (on all counts).
I still rank ANA Business class products as my favorite and top 3-4 (with Air China, Etihad and Emirates) in the world (yes, Air China is outstanding, even though no one talks about them), but I do miss the old super luxurious First Class product and service. Oh well...
You got your own camera person :-)
Nice touch!
That is a really good livery!
Another terrific video Sam. ANA is a great airline, I wish they flew to Montreal ! Wow that food looked good and the cabin crew is so friendly. Too bad you didn't get to fly on the new Pokemon 777 ; it looks cool ! Maybe try again; first class is nice on a 14 hour flight but I read and sleep in economy plus so I probably would not pay for the extra.
Great flight.
omg so cute of them ❤
This is the best review of The Suite thus far on CZcams! I am flying JFK > HND The Suite in February of 2024 and I have really benefitted from your video.
Wow good video
Sam is always and forever GOAT of airline vloggers!!
Wow beautiful airport❤
Great video Sam you have the best life,fly away and enjoy.
The footage of southern greenland was majestic
I was apart of the ground team that offloaded your flight at LHR! :D
Everything from Japan is beautiful
really enjoyed your content.
When I flew to Tokyo in 1975 first stop was Anchorage in Alaska, then on to Tokyo. The time difference was a strange to me, at 21 years of age it was my first long distance flight, I was joining a ship in Moji. We left London at 1600hrs arrived in Anchorage at 14hrs, then shortly after leaving Anchorage we crossed the date line.
i love your videos Sam, keep it up!
I flew on the Pikachu jet today, Business Class from Tokyo to New Delhi. They gave us a Pokémon boarding pass and a wooden tag with Pikachu wearing a captains hat. It was really cool. And ANA has amazing service.
really perfect 5 stars aircraft 🤩
I love alternative designs like these.
Love the videos Sam! Looks like a very nice and unique Japan style product. I would love to give it a try and I especially love ANA liveries!
Those stewardesses: such sweeties.
Good F&B coverage, Sam.
ANA’s Pokémon Special Promotion is thrilled to announce the inaugural flight of our fully-themed Pokémon plane. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, undergoing rigorous double and triple checks, all except the plane, which is not available for the event . Good grief 😅
Interesting video compeleted watched 👀
Cheerful stewardess when you entered the plane. She deserves a compliment for her attitude!
Hi Sam. Finnair flew non stop flights from Helsinki to Tokyo during the cold war. Dc-10 with extra fuel tanks. It was only airline who do that that time.
most complete galey I've ever seen, it even has a microwave ! i love flight with Jal
I hope Ana operates B777-300ER for
two or three more years. You're the best.
Best international airline hands down
Berry impresisve flight
This is amazing.
