Summary

The video is a detailed walkthrough of All Nippon Airways’ Business Class on a Boeing 787‑9 Dreamliner, flying the Tokyo‑Narita to Brussels route via a polar track over Greenland.

ANA’s cabin features 48 seats arranged in a 1‑2‑1 configuration, each with a 53‑cm width, 158‑cm pitch, direct aisle access, and a 198‑cm flat‑bed conversion. Passengers receive a welcome drink, an Eitner amenity kit, noise‑cancelling headphones, and a personal 18‑inch touchscreen with about 150 entertainment options and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

The review highlights Japanese service touches such as a bow from the crew, a noodle bar in the Narita lounge, and a menu blending sushi, miso‑braised beef and matcha desserts prepared by top chefs. The cabin’s modern design, large windows, and the polar scenery over Greenland are emphasized.

By showcasing premium comfort, culinary quality, and upcoming “THE Room FX” seats with doors and wireless charging, ANA positions itself strongly against other Asian carriers, appealing to business travelers seeking a differentiated long‑haul experience.
