ANA 767 Premium Class Cabin

Review: ANA 767-300ER Premium Class from Sapporo to Tokyo

On one of my trips to Sapporo back in December 2021, I booked a roundtrip flight with ANA using miles. Having had flown JAL’s domestic first class before but not ANA’s one, I decided to upgrade one of the flights into Premium Class for 14,000 yen (about 120 dollars).

Farewell, Bear Do Hokkaido Jet! (& All About Air Do’s Bear Do Jets)

Review: Lufthansa A340-300 Business Class from Frankfurt to Tokyo

When choosing my flight from Europe to Japan earlier this year, one of the available options was Lufthansa. While I knew from reading other reviews that the airline’s business class was, to put it mildly, nothing to write home about, I decided to book it as I hadn’t flown the product before. Now that I …

Review: Lufthansa Business Lounge (Non-Schengen) at Frankfurt Airport

As I had several hours of transit time between my flight from Vienna to Frankfurt and my onward flight to Tokyo, I visited Lufthansa’s non-Schengen business class lounge.

Air Do Rokon Jet Inaugural: Flying on Japan’s Latest Pokemon Jet

Loving aviation and having grown up watching and playing Pokemon, I was sad to see ANA’s last Pokemon Jet retired in 2016. While ANA introduced its Star Wars-themed aircraft in the meantime, I never liked them quite as much as I did the Pokemon Jets. As such, I was really excited to see Skymark paint …

On its intra-European flights, in addition to A320 series aircraft, Lufthansa uses a variety of smaller Bombardier and Embraer aircraft operated by its subsidiary Lufthansa CityLine.
