Ana san francisco narita

Currently, the Japanese government is encouraging airlines to use Haneda for their premium routes leaving Narita for low-cost carriers and leisure airlines. Japanese airlines were also given new slots at Haneda and encouraged to shift their American routes to the more convenient airport.

In total, Japanese airlines received 12 daytime slots at Haneda for their American bound flights, with Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways given six each. Utilizing its new slots at Haneda, ANA will offer six new flights to the United States, replacing many of the previous flights from Narita. Looking at the new flights, they are good for people wanting to visit Tokyo, but perhaps not as convenient time-wise for people looking to connect through Japan.

Felt like I was being sold something and it woke me up. Pros: "Food was good, but because of the hour and a half waiting on the plane to take off, we got no snack.

Cons: "We were seated in a row where we had to pull up the entertainment panel from the right side of our seat leg area. The steward seemed frustrated with us for not knowing how to work it. I never could raise mine because it did not work whatever I tried and was afraid to ask for help because of how my husband had been treated. Also we had never used the tray tables from the right arm rest before and needed help to get those up as well. Pros: "Complimentary meals.

Crew is really nice and attentive. Pros: "Boarding was announced by zones". Cons: "Passengers in later zones were standing too close to the boarding passengers causing confusion as to where the boarders lines were. There were 2 lunes: One line was moving passengers boarding , and one line not moving passengers waiting for their zone to be announced ready to pounce!

Cons: "We bought the tickets 2 together but when was the time to check in and select our seats there were no seats next to each other. This is the first time I see this!!!

Cons: "We had a 3 hours delay and no one could explain what was going on". Cons: "One of our two checked bags did not arrive. There were 10 of us celebrating our 50th Anniversary. Poor communications after a wonderful celebration in Hawaii. Pros: "Friendly staff and clean plane".

Pros: "Friendly agents fixed seating issue when wife and I were seated separately. Cons: "My sister and I were not assigned seats on our boarding passes.

There was another gentleman there with us who also didn't have an assigned seat on his boarding pass. We were all waiting at the gate for half an hour but there were no Hawaiian Airline employees to help us.

They started boarding people on the flight and we were just standing there at the gate with nobody to help us. Finally I ran over to the adjacent gate that was also run by Hawaiian and asked if they could help. Initially they told me to go back to the gate but I expressed my concern that our flight was already boarding and I needed a seat so they finally helped.

The gentleman tried doing the same thing but came back saying "They yelled at me and told me to come back to this gate". This is so rude, unprofessional and disorganized. It certainly left me with a bad impression of Hawaiian Airlines, which is too bad because I will be traveling to Hawaii quite a bit this year.

Pros: "Once on the plane the seats were comfortable and the meal was good. Nice to get a meal for no extra charge. Cons: "Flight out Airline gave me a standard seat although paid for extra room.

I have a bad back so needed the room to sit forward in my seat. The row in front of me was extra room and the family sitting there said had booked their reservation the day before the flight.

Same thing happened on return flight but I was smart enough to call ahead and fix. Bery frustrating. Boarded us 30 minutes late, no one knew what row was called as could not hear the announcements. People were being sent to the back of the line. Complete chaos. Then the unprofessional gate crew told about of us that the captain wanted to leave and the door would close in one minute so hurry up. Not a fan of the airline. Pros: "everyhing seeme o g smoothly.

Unfortunately there was a crying baby 4 seats over. Baby not HGawaiian's fault but wis they would put all young fhildre together in bak of play.

Cons: "The fact that flight attendant just left food on my tray when I didn't ask for it. I get motion-sickness very easily, so I would like to avoid food if possible. Would appreciate more consideration towards that, like leaving a note instead of leaving the food without asking me first.

Pros: "The aircraft was clean. Some crew memebets very nice others not. All in all it was an okay experience. I don't usually complain but there were a few things that seemed a little off about the service.

Not expecting anything special but a little kindness and thoughfullness when possible is appreciated. Cons: "No food option for vegetarians on flight. Crew member said I may have had an option when I booked the ticket but if I didn't want chicken I should just not eat. I would hope they would have a few extra vegetarian meals on hand for passengers who may stupidly and mistakenly not selected that during booking..

The touch screens are poor quality, not a huge deal but frustrating to have to tap so many times. With most of the extra comfort seats around me empty I was not allowed to move to one of them from my economy seat. Not asking for extra service but it seems like it should be fine to move if there are completely empty rows all around.

Not sure if the crew members are not allowed to give extra treatment to passengers or what. Pros: "Hawaiian Airlines does a really good job in the very competitive market of the airline industry. In-flight entertainment and food is a huge bonus. My only suggestion would be to board from the back of the plane first. Both of our flights, other passengers had used our overhead space as we were the last boarding section. Pros: "Besides the 15 minute delay which was pretty much made up, everything was wonderful.

Pros: "2 hours into the flight: captain announced that we had to go back to Tokyo due to water leak ijn rear of plane. Sat on ground in Tokyo for over an hour with no announcements before captain came on and said that teh problem had been resolved and we took off again.

Ended up missing connection in HNL and creted car rental isues. Pros: "The seat I was given was so nice. Appreciate being given an aisle seat with more room. Appreciated the meal and snacks. Cons: "Purchased the ear phones to watch a movie. There is no complimentary movies. Seems kinda cheap. But over all experience was good. Pros: "Pleasant travel and accommodations". Cons: "One thing I didn't like is passenger seated in front of me reclining to low had to ask if they would please decline leverage so that I could enjoy my meal.

Pros: "Service was great and food was good,". Cons: "Really cramped and were surrounded by 5 screaming babies the entire flight. Would be nice if the babies could be kept to a certain part of the plane. Pros: "Great crew. I had 3 seats for myself. Cons: "Selection of music entertainment. Pros: "Friendly crew". Cons: "Not piling up people like sardines in a can. Cons: "Staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Pros: "Crew was very attentive and courteous".

Cons: "More fruits and non-starchy vegetables would make food more enjoyable". Pros: "Food was really hot and good customer service". Pros: "The crew was pleasant and worked very hard to keep our stomachs full! I loved all the free movies! Pros: "Customer service". On board entertainment was great. Cons: "Seating is way to tight. Service from crew is nothing at all like it used to with Swiss. Nearly a smile from crew both legs of flight mostly just hand motion when serving food.

Food was a big disappointment too. It feels like all the good service is reserved only for business and first class! Pros: "The crew was very nice.

Seats were pretty comfy. Cons: "Food was ok. We could have been accommodated a little more. We lost a lot of money bc of the delay. Pros: "Amazing crew". Cons: "The seat was remarkably uncomfortable. Pros: "Swiss is always excellent". Very relaxing ride! Cons: "It was perfect! Pros: "most of the flight attendants were excellent except one particular one who was basically yelling at passengers.

Cons: "the seats are small and very small space in comparison to Lufthansa". Pros: "Crew was lovely! Friendly and happy. Well organized and responsive. Cons: "Overseas flight seats were tight going and coming, and being that long a flight you feel you are sitting on top of your neighbors. Air quality descends on a long full flight, it became claustrophobic by the end. There was only an option for vegetarian-vegan, but I am not vegan.

I won't do that again. My daughter's bag didn't make to SFO, even though we were early to check in. Pros: "On board is pretty good except that the seats are pretty narrow compare to our previous experiences. Cons: "Our flight was delayed and the seats were narrrow. Pros: "Swissair seating is cramped with 10 across in coach in Boeing Cons: "Next time, I will give Turkish Airlines a chance, because their aircraft seats only 9 across in Boeing coach.

In addition, two checked bags are free in coach. Pros: "Food and drink service were excellent and big choice of entertainment". Cons: "I wanted to get some work done on my flight but I couldn't even open my laptop screen more than a few inches. Pros: "There wasn't much that stood out as likable. The food was pretty good. Cons: "The plane was too hot. I asked multiple times throughout the flight for the temperature to be reduced, and it was not.

I was wearing light jeans and a short sleeve shirt, and I was sweating all flight. Each time I asked throughout the duration of the flight, I was told it take a while for the temperature to decline.

It's one thing to be uncomfortably warm on a flight; it's another thing when the flight crew lies to you. Further, I was not the only one to request that the temperature be reduced.

This made an 11 hour flight particularly miserable. Pros: "Crew was good. Very polite. The plane was old. No place to charge your phone. The in flight screen required the use of a remote which was inconvenient when having to wake up my neighbor to pull it out of the armrest.

Skipped the last meal service. It was like flying 20 years ago. Not bad, but not as good as it could be nowadays. Pros: "The crew fed us well throughout the flight--and we got free wine with dinner.

The food was pretty good for airplane food. We got fresh dinner rolls, salad, dessert, and Swiss cheese. We got ice cream part way through the trip. I loved that we got a piece of Swiss chocolate on each leg of the journey. The crew was friendly. There was a screen at each seat where you could watch movies or TV, listen to music, or track your flight.

The entertainment was free, and the crew provided free earphones. Blankets and pillows were provided. Cons: "Like most planes, there was not enough leg room.

The boarding was a little confusing, but no serious issues. Pros: "Food was great. Cons: "No USB. Entertainment was so-so. Pros: "The staff was helpful and professional and kind. The equipment was new and clean.

The flight was on-time and uneventful. I would fly this airline again any day of the week. Cons: "The entertainment screen was difficult to see when the person in front of me reclined because the screen was not perpendicular to my line of vision. I survived based on the other qualities of the flight.

Pros: "The aisle seat I purchased wasn't miserable like so many economy seats are. But I did have to pay for it! It was a nightmare I had difficulty booking my daughter's seat online for the return, but didn't have access to phone service while abroad.

In my complaint letter to Swiss Air I requested they place us together. I never got a response and upon check in, they had my son and me in our purchased seats and my daughter at the back of the plane. I asked them if they could do anything about it I was even willing to give up my seats to move to the back They also had no knowledge of my complaint or appeared concerned about my prior experience. I'm so over Swiss Air.

My experience with the employees on the phone prior to my first departure, the lack of response to my email, and a disinterested and inattentive staff on my return, have all convinced me to choose a different airline next time. Typically on time, typically good service, food and drinks". Cons: "The entertainment on the Airbus is outdated and the screens are terrible but that is the only problem. Unfortunately not the case today". Pros: "The service is the best!!!

I enjoyed everything!! Pros: "There was metalic box underneath the seat in front of me entertainment box , that did not leave any room to stretch my legs". Cons: "This box blocked any room to stretch my legs. The flight was full and I did not have the chance of changing seats. Flying 13 hours in this situation is unacceptable. Pros: "It takes two minutes to get to a live operator when you call.

Simply amazing. Cons: "The flight from Nairobi to Zurich starts in Nairobi, flies an hour south to Dar es Salaam, you then sit on the tarmac for an hour, then you fly north for an hour until you get back to the starting point. I would think they would save money if they flew an empty plane down to Dar es Salaam, picked up those passengers and then flew back to Nairobi.

No way should an 8. Plus my screen didn't work for one of the flights, nearly 12 hours without entertainment was BS. No real variety in their meals either. The first leg had a main meal of beef and potatoes as the meat option, same option for the second leg. Pros: "Crew was amazing. So patient and accommodating, even when passengers were a bit impatient. Cabin was clean, and it was good to have blankets and pillow on a long flight.

Cons: "Boarding was a bit chaotic. Food was okay but not substantial. Comfort was terrible in my seat - for some reason I had a seat with a metal box underneath so I could not stretch my legs. And the fellow next to me, in the middle, was over 6 feet and was VERY uncomfortable, even though he had legroom. There were good options for entertainment, but it was unreliable and had to be restarted once. Also, the screen was terrible quality and I could not see no matter how I adjust the screen angle or the light.

Pros: "my wife needed a wheelchair, so we were whisked between terminals. Pros: "The crew was pleasant.

Cons: "The Swissair website did not have my information available. Stood next to Passport Control for an hour! Flight was delayed 90 minutes.

Worse quality beef on a flight ever, and that's hard to do. In my 1. I am only 5'7", lbs, but for the first time ever could not reach my belongings in the under-the-seat space in front of me. Seriously, it was that cramped. Pros: "Service was excellent and very friendly.

Cons: "The seats are terrible. Narrow, the armrests edgy and only partially movable. The entertainment system is outdated, screen has no contrast and can only be viewed at a straight angle, which is impossible as soon as the seat is reclined. Pros: "The crew did a great job of handling our 2-hour delay in starting from Zurich - we were kept updated on what was happening, the aircraft was at a comfortable temperature not too hot, not too cold , and we were given water during the wait.

Plus, the moist towels prior to landing. It makes a big difference in comfort levels for such a long flight. Cons: "The on-board entertainment system was old and very clumsy to handle with the embedded control in the arm rest. Also, it crashed on me two times and had to be re-booted, which was frustrating and took a long time every time it happened. Cons: "Very uncomfortable seats, very hard. The cabin was cold and there was no possibility to adjust blowers.

Old entertainment sets with poor variety of choices to watch. Cons: "The most uncomfortable flight I've ever experienced. The seats were too small. It was torture for a 12 hour flight. Need more space and padding in the seats. Pros: "Great crew service, attention to detail, very responsive and efficient". Cons: "1 hour departure delay from Zurich and did a poor job explaining the cause?? Movie options available for passengers were limited and not very interesting to watch?

Pros: "The crew was terrific. Cons: "Economy seating very cramped. Cramped seat conditions, inability of video screen to articulate sufficiently to allow seeing the picture when the seat ahead was reclined. Pros: "The food". Pros: "Boarding was very quick and efficient.

Seating arrangements were nice pretty average overall. Cons: "The crew was terrible. Young and in experience was on thing. But worse was they did the bare minimum and then hid out in the back for the rest of the flight. They served a weird cheese sandwich mid flight and would roll their eyes if you asked for water. The food selection and taste was bland or way too salty. Pros: "Ft". Cons: "The lack of food choices. Even if you must buy them tgere should be choices".

Pros: "Friendly crew. Good food and entertainment. Comfortable seats. Pros: "Loved the entertainment. Food was great! Cons: "There was no indication of what line went where while in the boarding process.

Nobody told us that we needed to get a blue stamp?? Boarding by seat number would have been a better idea. Everybody was all over the place getting their bags stored above. Cons: "Due to a glitch in the webstei, I was unable to check in online, and therefore did not get a window seat for an 11 hour flight - very frutrating and uncomfortable!

We had to wait til we were at the airport to do that. When checking in we were told we had to wait til onboard? Then once on board told no. The movie screen was barely visible so basically u could just listen.

Pros: "Food was overall not bad. It would have been nice to have more snack options if I was hungry in between meals. Cons: "Landed early but there was no gate so we just sat on the runway. We also sat on the runway long past when we were supposed to arrive. I'm not sure why there still was no gate when we passed the time that we were supposed to arrive.

Please fill in your payment details. What does Nippon mean?
