- Join me for another exciting video on the All Nippon Airways Airbus A380 Flying Honu First Class flight from Honolulu in Hawaii, United States to Tokyo, Japan.
After having taken business class in my previous video going the other way, I live it up in first class by checking out the finest luxury that ANA have to offer in the sky. You won’t want to miss it!
As always, thanks for watching and do leave a comment down below letting me know what you thought of the whole experience.

Following on from my previous video where I took a highly enjoyable flight in business class aboard ANA’s Flying Honu A380 from Tokyo to Honolulu, it’s now time for me to head back to Tokyo, but this time in first class, after having enjoyed all that Hawaii has to offer, including its superb beaches, rich surfing culture, dancing and entertainment.
At Honolulu airport, I take the opportunity to examine the lounges available to ANA customers. I take the Wiki bus shuttle as the lounges are at the opposite end of the airport from check in and I don’t fancy a 15 minute walk - when you’re flying first class, the key is relaxation; there are other more appropriate times for furious exercise!
The first ANA airport lounge that we examine at Honolulu airport is the ANA Suite Lounge. You are eligible to enter this lounge if you are a first class or diamond member of the ANA mileage club. The food, in particular, offered by the ANA Suite Lounge is sublime with a range of authentic Japanese cuisine on offer, including a number of very fine soups and broths.
We also examine the Main lounge which is open to Star Alliance gold members and American Express gold and platinum card holders. The décor of the lounge makes for a very relaxing and natural feel, with the lounge dominated by a decorative tree, whose branches merge in to the ceiling. There’s even a children’s creche area so that you can relax without having children running around you.
After boarding the flying Honu, it’s time to enjoy everything that ANA first class has to offer! The seat is very wide and the first class cabin features a very useful, nifty little pull-out clothes rail, so that you can store your shirt or trousers without creasing them during the flight.
I am presented with a large selection of complimentary comforts to choose from by the highly professional ANA flight attendants including lip balm, socks, eye masks and even a heavy organic cotton blanket! Their signature amenity kit has an exterior which looks like a miniature suitcase - so cool!
The first class bathroom certainly does not disappoint with a state of the art, automated Japanese style bidet system and complimentary energising skin lotions. There’s even a pull down platform which you can use to assist in getting changed - ANA really think of lots of little clever ways to make your time in first class rewarding, refreshing and relaxing.
Although the food service itself does take time (and I feel sorry for the airline attendants who have to work in what I consider to be a rather cramped galley for serving eight first class customer meals simultaneously), the quality of the food itself is absolutely excellent. I am treated to caviar, a truffle and cream tart, ahi tuna tataki and corn soup and that’s just for starters! The real show stopper which really bowls me over is the veal cheek with foie gras. The dessert is lovely and a real palette cleanser - a sorbet designed by the Four Seasons Lanai Resort.
I do not go thirsty either with champagne, orange juice, special apple juice wine and a premium selection of carefully selected white and red wines all being served.
After a nap to digest all of that (and after a curry and a cheeseburger - well, it was a long flight!), I share some tips with you regarding the best way to fly in premium classes such as business class and first class with ANA which I believe is by using air miles. I think it’s very good that ANA have promised that seats will be available to freedom flyers who fly with clubs such as United Airlines Mileage Plus and the Virgin Flying Club. See my links in the description for the best way to earn these points, which I believe are the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card and the American Express platinum card.
I respect flight attendants so much. They will always smile at you even they are having a bad time with their own personal problems.
Your a very nice guy😊😊😊 I like your comment
Your a nice guy, you most be a cabin crew member😂
Very respectful comment ✊
Thank you, really appreciate your view. ❤😊
Amen to that. They have to please hundreds of humans on a DAILY BASIS. Because they are called upon to ensure both pleasure and safety for a flight, safe to say they are heroes in their own right.
the flight attendant was soooooooooooo niceee omg
All ANA attendants are awesome
so nice in so many ways....
She had an amazing smile
“Not everyday I get to fly first class” ummm? For you?!!?? Yes you do! Every single video
KATL 757 Flyer he flies in business class to so it’s not everyday fly in first class
Nah, he only flys first class every week so he’s right
I mean 10% of his fans travels on first class, he should fly in economy like most people, he shows his reality every single video, not intetesting any more
Everyone: “Oooh, look at the nice and shiny new airplane.”
Me: “Yup, my legs are still cramped and I fell like shit after a 10 hour flight in an economy middle seat. 💺 “
Francisco Figueroa but economy flying gives no content.
Service ?
Utilities ?
Food?
Almost all economy classes are generic with subtle difference in each airline.
The only defining way of classing an airline is by the premium contents the airline provides.
So following your argument it will not be good content, hypothetically 1-2 videos will be interesting other than that it will be plain repetitive.
So going by that context showcasing of premium content where most of the viewers may/may not experience is justified.
Some viewers may take it the wrong way by believing he is flexing on normal class citizens, but do you believe that was his intention.
While some viewers like myself like myself find it more informative and enjoyable, relinquishing at the luxury available if the capital suffice.
So if you don’t like it anymore, there are always other videos available to show you economic flying.
Why am I jealous watching this guy fly like a KING all round the world 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👑👑👑👑👑👑
Because he is flying like a king around the worls
Blabluble world*
@@jacoblevi2829 Good job! You lil genius!
*RULE BRITANNIA INTENSIFIES*
He is nice and sympathetic. However we can not escape to ask ourselves in the back of our head how he can simply afford to spend his life, just not working and doing anything else than flying the world for just testing all airlines and classes without even seeming to never actually visit the countries he goes to, just the travelling, service and airlines do interest him more than the actual trip itself / strange and unique isn'it ?? !! Lol 🤔😊
That flight attendant was soooo nice and professional ! Thank you for sharing !
The background music and the ANA livery are the stars of this vlog
The mini samsonite amenity case is ADORABLE!!!! I want!! Lol
Rosie Hill same
I really like this first class. VERY elegant. Reminds me of the Swiss First. Well designed and elegant.
Can’t beat Japanese sensibilities in luxury and graciousness! Beautiful service and flight! All gorgeous and authentic warmth!
Taking off from that runway looks like an experience in itself - so gorgeous!
I would put ANA as one of the best airlines on earth, and I've only flown them about 3 times, 2 long hauls and one short haul flight; however, amazing service all around. I also love their Hawaii livery for their A-380. It's a cool and beautiful design, and it's cool to see a unique setup for one route.

Wow! I'm really surprised about the products available in first class. This is revolutionary. Would be very interesting to see other Airlines adapt this kind of quality on board.
Bro be eating and drinking during all the flight 😂🤣😂👍
@truth teller YUP lol😂😂😂😂😂
😏😐😑
@truth teller thats what id do aswell tbh.
Not really. This is just 20 minutes of the entire flight duration. He only recorded the most interesting parts of the experience.
@truth teller don't say that
Everyone is different
We can't all be slim
I'm speaking from experience. I've been bullied about my body too and let me just tell you that it's not a good experience
Sam, that was an excellent video of an excellent flight. The combination of Hawaii, ANA A380, flying over the Pacific to Japan, and your choice of music, got me a little bit emotional 😢 I was three years late to see this video, but it was well worth the wait. Thanks! 🌴🌞🌴✈ = 👍
As a young boy, my dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor and our house was right across the highway from Honolulu Airport and Hickam AFB! Literally the best place to get hooked on plane spotting! I would sit on my the back of my car for hours sometimes and watch the planes take off. My favorite plane back then was the Brannif 747 with the orange livery.
After watching this! I really want to go to Hawaii taking ANA airlines!!
me too
If you fly from Japan you can
dong chen me too!
also sorry to be kinda annoying but... you don’t call ANA “ANA airlines” lol, it’s just ANA, which stands for “All Nippon Airways”
nothing to stress about i just wanted to let you know, that’s all (:
@@Maya-ox8pw Thanks for telling me!
I wanna go to Hawaii to... wait I already live in Hawaii
When Sam visited the galley, it is amazing how just putting the food onto a plate and presenting it nicely can make it seem so premium
10:21 that's not just any headset. it's the sony wh-1000xm3
what???? its more than $300
and the seat costs $20,000
One wouldn't expect anything else than the best noise cancelling headsets currently on sale, for an F seat on one of the best airline on the planet.
Can we take the sony with us when we landed ?
Kubzyn I live in Canada I bought this on sale for 450 it’s expensive trust
Sam you are really good at making us hungry
Somewhat ironic that it’s a direct flight from Hawaii to Japan for those history nerds
Yikes
1lakers24 lmao
Bruh💀💀💀
What's even more ironic is that Hawaii has a deep cultural connection with Japan since the first Hawaiian settlers were Japanese. Hawaii is such a popular destination for the Japanese people because they have a lot of family there. All 3 ANA A380's fly exclusively between Tokyo and Honolulu almost daily. On top of that, both ANA and JAL fly 787's between the two all the time. Very popular
Mike I actually was wondering that so thanks
Great 2 vids of the Flying Honu thanks Sam- the whole trip looked like so much fun...
What a kind, humble, gracious man. Its a joy to watch your videos Sam. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
ANAに乗ってくれてるとは！ありがとうございます！
You can definitely expect nothing less from Japanese ingenuity and hospitality!
Hey Sam chui your vids are my inspiration and your the reason why my heart evolves around aviation/ thank u and keep up with the aviation
素晴らしい！感動した！！
Excellent！ Wonderful ！！impression！
The air hostess dancing at the end was so cute. She is sooo lovely
So much to be impressed here. Food looks outstanding, the service looks impeccable, but in Hawaii while taxiing to the runway, beautiful shot of the ocean! Not many locations offer such a pretty view from an airport taxiway.
Amazing review of the flying Honu first class, I’m looking forward to watching future reviews
You are such a gentleman, I liked your tips in the end about miles.
ANA's A380 have a name:
The blue is Lani (Sky)
The green is Kai (Ocean)
The orange is Ka La (Sunset)
This is the Honu livery 😊
I knew this
Imagine if Japan airlines ordered the 747-8 which fish and amphibians liveries, how would they be named?
wow.... icredible service from ANA... What a plane !!
Amazing Sam.... Another fabulous video. What an incredible 'wait' staff... So gracious...
Thank you for having me along for such a wonderful flight Sam!
Oh man, when the Japanese do something, they do it to the fullest extent! This is awesome!
I’m a Japanese high school student. Thank you for choosing a Japanese airline.😊
I love japan and japinese soo much I'm arbic and I would kile visit tokyo in onday😍😍
passengers in first class wish the flight lasts long
meanwhile in economy: WILL THIS DAMN THING GO ANY FASTER?!
Remind me of the day when I was flying from Beijing to Toronto, which normally is a total 13hrs flight. The plane was delayed on the ground 3hrs, for a passenger had some health issue who needed to get off the plane. I was stuck in the small economy class seat for 16hr, a total disaster.
Hi Sam,once again you have made another good video,showing us your return journey back to Tokyo flying first class with ANA.
Amazing Honolulu Airport,the first class lounge looks very good.The first class cabin was cool plenty of room with excellent food and service,thats the way to travel I must say.
Sam thankyou so much for taking the time to, producing these very good videos and sharing the frill and enjoyment of aviation can bring.
Thanks Sam,safe travels,look forward to the next video.☺
I need that safety video on loop for when I'm stressed
10:18 they legit give u the best headphones in the world just for going on first class
What a terrific experience. Thank you for sharing Sam!
Japanese ppl are always smiling no matter what the situation is.... It's a nice gesture shown by them ❤️❤️❤️
Japanese people in prison be like: 🙂🏢
For me, it was him pouring the beer 😂😂
ANA is impressive! Congratulations to the crew!
thanks for the wonderful Videos Sam! ❤️❤️❤️
2:48, "thank you very maarchhh...' love her accent & love the ANA!
"hangry" hahahaa poor flight attendant probably had no idea
Such a beautiful aircraft. Very good content as always!
Thank you Sam for allowing us to experience ANA First Class with you. It looks amazing.
Thank you. The flight exceeded my expectation. It was surprisingly relax (perhaps after a Hawaiian holiday)
Sam Chui come back and visit us in Hawaii anytime. Love your videoblog. Glad I subscribed to your CZcams channel.

Sam Chui is the guy I like the most for airplane flights description,always shows us what we want to see the most for example the meals served online and all the rest altogether!He deserves 5 stars and many many more if they were available!Keep it up Sam we love you!
ANA should pay Mr. Sam more! He's the best airplane critic.
Their service was extraordinary.... one of the best 1st class experience😍
Leave it to the Japanese to have the most kawaii airplane.

I thought there was a bug on my screen
The couple traveling seated behind you on the shuttle weren't so sure about what you doing with your camera, their expressions say a lot. 😀😀😀
I always enjoy your videos, the content gives excellent information on travel.
Thanks for sharing.💜👍😊
Pours a 80% foam beer and takes a sip right off the top. These are the reasons I love you Sam!

Waah back to back flight from the flying honu! You must be delighted Sam! From business class to first class! Can't wait for your vlog about Sichuan Airlines!
ANA's business class seats and services are amazingly enjoyable like you have mentioned in one of your videos. I have taken few business class trips on their planes and can't wait to take another one!
I’ve been to that airport before, it’s truly beautiful.
Amazing 🤩
Dude, as always video is great. Respect
very nice airport and the lounges are nice too, that wood designed tree was really cool but I really liked that background blue shiny design behind the check in desk. sorry im saying a lot a designs but the design of the A380 is cool too. wow id freakin love to fly first class sometime.
