<\/a><\/br>ANA Check-in Counters at Narita Airport T1 South Wing<\/p><\/div>\n
When booking this trip we found that All Nippon Airways offered similar prices for our return trip from either Narita or Haneda. But the flight from Haneda left in the morning and the one from Narita at dusk. By choosing Narita we got an extra day to spend in Japan It was a smooth experience going through securities and border at Narita Airport with little time spent in lines. After reaching our gate we still got time to finish some snacks we bought in the day.<\/p>\n <\/br>Apron of Narita Airport T1<\/br>Thai Airways A380\/All Nippon Airways B77W\/United Airlines B77E<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Passage in Narita Airport T1<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Boarding Pass<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n Our plane was parked on the apron that day, so my friend and I calculated the time to join the queue, which made us one of the last passengers to board the first shuttle (which made us one of the first to board the plane). <\/br>All Nippon Airways B763 Cabin<\/p><\/div> <\/br>All Nippon Airways B763 Cabin<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport Runway 16R\/34L<\/p><\/div> <\/br>American Airlines B788(N800AN)<\/br>Off to Chicago<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>All Nippon Airways B76F(JA601F)<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Trains on Shibayama-tetsud\u014d Line<\/p><\/div> <\/br>ANA B763 Front Camera<\/br>Although the plane is only five years old, the resolution of this camera was still terrible.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Turkish Airlines B77W(TC-JJI)<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Taxiway Lights of Narita Airport<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport Passenger Terminal<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport Passenger Terminal<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport T1<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport T1<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Narita Airport Apron<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Suburb by Narita Airport<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n While I was taking these pictures during takeoff, I felt there’s something wrong with the photos.

\nUnfortunately, one of the five legs of train was delayed, so we arrived at Narita Airport at 16:53 which was 20 minutes later than what we planned for. Given there’s not much time to our scheduled departure time of 1820 and there’s quite some lines at JR travel agency, we didn’t return our Suica Card.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>

\nOur shuttle waited by the plane for quite some time before boarding. I’m not sure whether that’s to wait for the cabin to be cleaned, or for the second shuttle to arrive. (I thought it was stupid in either case.)<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nThe load factor that day was typical ANA. I was sitting in row 32 and there’re at least 6 rows behind me with at most 6 passengers seated, it wasn’t a crowded plane in front of me either.
\nThen about fare, all-inclusive roundtrip fare between Beijing and Japan in class L at 2500JPY seemed to be the lowest ANA’s willing to offer, I couldn’t think of anybody else that’s reluctant to reduce prices with load factor this low.

\nTo improve runway efficiency, a plane as light as us were directed to runway 16L which was only 2000 meters long due to holdouts. It’s a 20-minute taxi from apron by Terminal 1 to the end of runway 16L around the entire Narita Airport, which was way to familiar to Chinese airports.

\nThen I searched online and found ANA as a Skytrax five star airline didn’t require cabin lights to be dimmed during takeoff and landing, which was quite problematic in my opinion.<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nAt least for this meal we got a menu to choose from.
\nAnd ANA did pay great attention to detail. They got a layer of rubber on the surface of dinner tray, so that the food boxes won’t slip easily.
