    This flight will take place at night between Singapore and Tokyo and will last approximately 7 hours. We head to the bottom of the business class cabin to find our seats on the window side.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67675″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Some seats – like mine above – are more private because they are glued to the windows.<\/p>\n

    While other seats will be more exposed by overlooking the corridor, like this one:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67673″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Middle seats are more suitable for people travelling with couples or friends, but it will still be challenging to talk to each other. For a night flight, we preferred solitary chairs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67671″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”the_seat” text=”The seat” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]This is, of course, a seat used as a 180-degree bed (note that ANA provides a mattress pad as well as a pillow):[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67692″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_single_image image=”67694″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]There are few storage spaces for computer, phone, headphones. Note this hanger for the helmet, as well as the electrical sockets at your disposal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67690″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_single_image image=”67688″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]You can see my “stock” of equipment in this photo:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67684″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The multimedia screen is significant as you can judge with my “coaster test milesopedia.”[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67696″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The welcome kit is standard. We appreciate the headphones provided.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67686″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”]

    Finally, an airline that encourages you to make the most of your night’s sleep rather than doing a service 1 hour after take-off! It’s VERY appreciated![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67700″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_single_image image=”67702″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Shortly after take-off, I choose to go to bed with about 6 hours left on the flight.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67706″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]After four good hours of deep sleep – the two glasses of wine had helped – I wake up and start “playing” with the windows of this Dreamliner (whose opacity is variable through a button).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67710″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_single_image image=”67712″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]In fact, the crew will decide to automatically illuminate the cabin through daylight from the windows.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67714″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The meal begins to be served by flight attendants – who are EXTREMELY service-oriented.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67716″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]When I travel to a foreign company, I always choose the “country” selection, rather than the Western selection (“Chicken or Pasta”).<\/p>\n

    Here’s a look at my meal tray:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”67717″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Here are the dishes:<\/p>\n
