ANA Business class NH 177 SEA to NRT

ANA Business class NH 177 SEA to NRT

ANA started this SEA to NRT route back around 2011 and eventually taking over from UA.
Flight uses a 787 except for a short time when the 787 was grounded.

ANA uses the S terminal at SEA which requires a short train ride from the main terminal.
The main terminal was renovated a few years ago and looks really nice now!

At the very crowded "The Club" lounge shared by many airlines as well as Priority pass holders.
Priority pass holders often get turned away due to the small size of the lounge.
But it isnt like they are missing much though as the lounge food offering is mediocre.

One of the few decent food items at the lounge.

Sadly, this isnt one of the ANA Star Wars planes.

ANA uses a staggered lie flat seat on this 787.
It is a very nice seat which offers good privacy as well.

The IFE also offers live tv, including live sports!
Champions League football was live during the flight as well. :)
Awesome!
Many tv programs now have English subtitles and the selection has improved as well.
This is much better than years ago, where English subtitles from non-English media were hard to come by.

Takeoff was delayed a little due to air traffic.
Takeoff was to the south today, most times, it goes north.
Love the view of the curved wing!

Food and drinks menu for the flight.
Always choose the Japanese options on NH/JL!
You will never be disappointed!
Well, unless u dislike Japanese food or seafood.

This is the ANA "Kabosu" drink which tastes like sweet lemonade.
Cardigan Bear approves of this drink!

 The main meal was served shortly and was very good.
Only the dessert was very passable.
Not sure why because in Japan, the desserts are amazing but never had a good dessert on Japanese airlines.

Somewhere over the north Pacific
The 787 window doesnt have a window shade, instead there are about 5 levels of darkness settings.
It could be super bright outside but look like this from inside the plane.

Second meal served before landing.
Strange that ANA has paper separation for this meal instead of putting the rice in a separate bowl.
Looks a bit cheap to have such paper separation.
Can u imagine getting that in a sit down restaurant?

Food was excellent though!

All you can eat soba noodles !
Apparently the servers just keep filling up the bowl until you can eat anymore. :)

Thank you for a nice flight!
