You won't find additional menu options when booking a meal em linha, but I eagerly selected a Japanese meal to make sure that choice didn't run out by the time flight attendants made it to my suite.

In addition, I was served seared sea bream and some yuba and turnip in miso sauce. This was a lot of food, and everything I tried was fantastic.

ANA's 777s equipped with The Room business class have 64 business class suites in all, laid out in an unmistakable fashion with some pairs of seats in the center aisle close together and the next row spread farther apart.

Take it from me: I've flown ANA's newest business class suite and I've flown its older seats. You want to fly ANA's “The Room.”

This lounge is open to all passengers. Some passengers may be entitled to free entry by their airliner or a privilege card, and all other passengers will need to pay a fee to enter. Passengers who hold one of the following privilege cards have free entry:

The seat is rather firm in the bed position, which is a commonality of beds in Japan. They also have a sliding door, which the earlier version of the airline’s Business Class seats do not have, as well as electronic shades for the window shades that operate with the touch of a button.

ANA does a remarkable job of boarding aircraft quickly and efficiently with staff walking through the boarding area with signs designating when certain groups 000e000000000000x00000900000000000000000000000g00000click here can board and even bowing to customers at the start of the boarding process.

The seat, at 38 inches wide, is more like a bench. This is great during waking hours because there was ample room to set down a laptop or other work for a moment. While resting, the Em excesso room felt more like sleeping in a real bed.

It's especially lovely before traffic starts to pick up in the early afternoon, when passengers flood in ahead of many departures for Europe.

I was able to watch a full movie in the time the meal service took. Given the length of the flight, it didn't exactly cut into my sleep time, though it could be a nuisance to those looking to fall asleep not long after take-off. Overall, throughout the course of the flight, service was friendly but reserved.

The rest of the dinner service seemed to drag on. That's not a big issue on these longer, early evening departures heading for Tokyo, but could be an issue on the shorter flights back home to the states. Eventually, it was time for the main event: The Japanese meal.

Business class fare includes complimentary alcohol. There is a curated wine selection and top-shelf alcohol choices like Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Bombay Sapphire, and Japanese options like beer and sake. The standard selection of non-alcoholic beverages is also available, including non-alcoholic beer.

The first 200 customers on line for the opening will get gift bags with product samples and coupons, the supermarket says.
