What can I say? This year I have had the pleasure of both flying Skytrax’s number 1 airline Singapore Air in business class, as well as Skytrax’s number 3 airline All Nippon Airways. ANA is a special airline and always a treat to fly. Today’s post will go into detail on my thoughts flying the airlines and what I think overall about it, in terms of a score.

## The Seat

The seat was large and the seatbelt was nice. I felt secure and I rather enjoyed the middle aisle. The interesting bit was is if you are flying with a companion. Generally you put yourself in the middle to be next to that person, but oddly I was met with an irreconcilable barrier which sort of spoiled some of the fun. The seat itself was comfortable..for the first few hours of the flight. I was in the air for 10 hours so my bum started to take a bit of a beating near the end. I felt like a young child who just failed the 3rd grade, and my parents were not too happy about it.

## The Food

The food was indeed next level. I was skeptical that ANA would be able to keep up with their Malay rivals but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the Japanese entree versus the international one and my taste buds and satiety thanked me for that.

**Jarai’s stomach liked that**

My meal consisted of mackerel cooked in some sort of ginger jus, steamed rice, and miso. Of course I had sushi as an appetizer before hand.

Later on, about 2 hours before landing we had a second meal, different albeit just as good. I could go on and on about how great and delectable the food was like Utada, but unfortunately this is not the one.

## The Service

The service started before I even checked in. While waiting in line to check my bag, I got a special show where all of the ANA employees responsible for checking us in safely, lined up in the front, said some words and bowed in unison. It was a sight to behold.

After that splendid reveal, I was checked in using the usual suspects (aka my passport and my charming smile). They explained where the lounge was

*This is business after all*

And I was on my merry way.

The next chance I got to take part in the fantastic service was when I got on the plane. The drinks were out swiftly, and within few rounds I could feel the plum wine and knew I was in for a great time.

The Flight attendants were very attentive. I never had to ask for anything, they just brought it, and the only time I needed to say anything it was to vigorously thank them for their thoughtfulness and care. I felt like they truly made an effort to treat me, memorizing my name and all.

I touched on the food earlier, but even when bringing that out they set my table, and made sure I didn’t want or need for anything. Truly exceptional.

## Overall Score

After everything I described, do you really think I’d give this airline anything lower than a 5/5? Your head must still be in the clouds. But even though mine has long come back down, I will always remember the pinnacle of service that is ANA.

5/5
