Not sure where to put this but i think here is fine:

Quick review on new ANA direct KUL <-> NRT flight - NH816, NH815

I will start will the cons as i can think of alot:
Cons:
- outbound 7am flight is abit early
- Flight serve breakfast as main course instead of lunch (I think lunch should be more appropriate in this flight)
- If you fly on weekday, you will reach Tokyo right at rush hour where people are going home.  rclxub.gif
- inbound flight reach klia at 11:30pm, taking taxi mean midnight surcharge
- inbound/outbound both is using bus for travelling between terminal and plane (feel like AirAsia)  doh.gif
- Business class specific :- You get to access PPL instead of star alliance lounge as they are not yet open
    - The seat for the 787 is cradle instead of the cabin type for Singapore/Bangkok route

Pro:
- Not sure if this is something with Japan culture, but ANA service staff are all female  drool.gif
- They went all the way to get halal certification for the catering onboard  thumbup.gif
- Onboard entertainment have alot movie. eg. This month they have all 10 episodes of Hanzawa Naoki  shocking.gif
- 787 is the best thing you can get currently comparable to THAI/SIA A380

In conclusion, i think this flight is not really recommended if your final destination is Tokyo.
*
Damn at Bolded part, this is unacceptable. I need to re-consider then, although I liked B787 Dreamliner very much.

Because Narita are JAL big base. ANA have very limited Aerobridge space. Not like Haneda Airport whole Terminal 2 are for ANA and  whole Terminal one are for JAL.
*
But then if Haneda case, we all arriving at International Terminal instead, unless domestic flight.

NRT case, ANA & Star Alliance are at T1 South Wing, Skyteam at T1 North Wing. I thought should have enough.

If I take JAL or MAS arrive NRT T2, sure have skybridge one.

hmm weird, didnt notice JAL while i was there.

Btw forgot 2 things, ANA lounge is on the opposite side of the terminal in relative to the boarding gate. And if i am correct the whole SEA flight are board by bus (I noticed Bangkok/Manila/Singapore while i was there)

Lastly a big pro, they allow 2x 23kg bags for economy class, which is total of 46kg where no other airline give this much. I will definitely fly ANA if i am planning a shopping trip.
*
I would add another cons based on my understanding, the B787 they used for our route is the slightly more unfavorable one in 3-3-3 layout, and non-recliner seats, it just slides forward.

see nothing wrong with 3-3-3. alot of airline use this. and the seat recline fine.
*
Well maybe, just prefer 2-4-2, as long as it is 2 on the side.

I enjoyed 2-3-2 on JAL very much, although it is just a refurbished B767-300.

Well overall, I think Dreamliner is worth a try anyway. Just that the timing, they served breakfast either omelette or porridge.

I have a question to ask:

I would like to get this Tokyo Subway 3-day Ticket.

Can I get 10 tickets at 1-time with 1 passport (let say I stay in Tokyo for 30 days)

Why the hurry? You can always buy more at Bic Camera.

QUOTE(Alexdino @ Oct 7 2015, 11:54 AM)

Most major BIC Camera, just ask at the shop.

A simple google will show a list of BIC Camera that sells this.

If I were to choose only 1 city out of 6 to visit in Japan for summer holidays (June July period), which would you recommend and why? Eating is quite a priority for me.

1. Tokyo.
2. Sapporo
3. Osaka
4. Kobe
5. Nagoya
6. Kyot0

BTW, which city is most frequented by travellers?

Arigato! smile.gif

Bad timing, rainy season...

But I'd say Kyoto or Tokyo.
