All Nippon Airways is one of the best airlines to fly to Manila because of its detailed cleanliness and respectful service. Here is an ANA Business Class review for flights from Narita to Manila:
Narita Terminal 1 South Wing houses departures for All Nippon Airways international flights. It is important to note your airline and specific terminal as international flights depart from all 3 terminals in Narita.
After checking in your luggage in Narita Terminal 1S, you will proceed to the Security line. Note that between 9am to 10am are peak hours for the security lines. Because of all the international flights and the many flights to the U.S., screening can be as nit-picky as the U.S.’s TSA procedures.
Once you get through Security proceed to Immigration where you simply scan in your passport information page to proceed through to the boarding gates.
There are two ANA Lounges in Narita Terminal 1. Choose the one closest to your boarding gate for more convenience. Read more about ANA Lounges in Narita: ANA Lounges in Narita International Airport.
At the boarding gate, expect a slighter longer line for Business Class passengers as many of the members of either ANA or United membership programs are privileged to line up in the Business Class line even if they are ticketed in Economy.
ANA Business Class from Manila to Narita offers the ANA Business Cradle configuration with cradle-style seats. These do not lie flat and it is a 2-2-2 layout which means you will likely sit next to someone. The consolation is the spaciousness and cleanliness of the cabin which are not the same on competing airlines.
The airline provides Business Class passengers with the usual pillow and blanket on their seats. In the magazine compartment, you will find your headset and airplane slippers. It is in Japanese culture to take off your shoes in the plane and where these slippers, much like the locals do when they enter a home. This keeps the cabin carpet cleaner than other airlines.
Flight attendants will either offer a basket of more amenities or you will find it in the galley. That basket has eye masks, earplugs, wet tissues, toothbrushes, and mouthwash.
Business Class passengers have the option of a Japanese or Western meal for this 4- hour flight from Narita to Manila. The menu changes every month for both options. Because this flight caters to many travelers connecting from the states, the meal service can feel a bit rushed as they dim the lights right to allow these passengers to sleep.
