ANA is set to open a brand new 300-seat Japan-theme food court in Terminal 2 of the Changi Airport. For those of you familiar with the airport, this newly-planned food court which will become the airport's largest restaurant, will occupy the space where Seafood Paradise and Fish & Co used to be.

On my latest flight from Haneda to Hong Kong on ANA's Business Class, I had access to the ANA Lounge. As you approach the ANA Lounge (which has been refreshed in 2014) in the International Terminal of Haneda Airport, you will notice that there are actually two separate lounges - the ANA Lounge (which I will review here) and the ANA SUITE LOUNGE which is reserved for First Class and ANA Diamond Service members on eligible ANA or Star Alliance flights. 

Japan's largest airline, ANA, has just announced the addition of two renowned master chefs to its “THE CONNOISSEURS” program: Takeshi Kikuchi, Head Chef of TOKYO SHIBA TOFUYA UKAI, and PATINA Restaurant Group Founder and Executive Chef Joachim Splichal. This brings the total lineup of THE CONNOISSEURS to 22 members

I checked out ANA's newest Dreamliner (787) product on Business Class when I flew from Haneda to Hong Kong in November 2016. 

As part of the on-going Tastes of JAPAN programme (read about the feature in June to August this year), ANA will be showcasing the quality produce and specialties from the Akita, Saitama and Shimane prefectures in-flight as well as at the various airport lounges from September to November 2016.

The third Star Wars Themed ANA JET to join the fleet is the C-3PO™ ANA JET with the iconic C-3PO on its Boeing 777-200. This plane will join the other two (BB-8™ ANA JET and R2-D2™ ANA JET) as part of the STAR WARS™ Project, a five-year agreement with The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd. Unveiled to Star Wars fans last week on 15 July 2016, the C-3PO aircraft plans to start flying on domestic routes in Japan from the end of March 2017.

Between June and August 2016, ANA is inviting all passengers on a specially curated culinary journey to the Fukui, Yamanashi and Kagoshima prefectures. ANA's in-flight menu as well as the F&B offerings at various airport lounges in Tokyo will be refreshed with the freshest ingredients from these three prefectures. 

STAR WARS fans have rejoiced over the R2-D2™ ANA JET last year but now Japan's largest airline has announced the inaugural flight of the final of three aircraft that is decorated in special STAR WARS livery - the BB-8™ ANA JET (Boeing 777-300). Featuring the new and adorable character from the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, BB-8™ ANA JET will roll out on 27 March 2016 (domestically) and commence on her first international route on 29 March 2016.
